Excessive Nervousness
Every day, individuals interact with numerous people around them, engaging in discussions and debates. As a result, they may encounter various unfavorable situations that do not align with their mood. However, a person should not be solely judged based on their reactions to adverse situations. An irritable individual often reacts with disproportionate anger to trivial matters that do not warrant such a response. Signs of irritability may also include breaking objects, self-harm, speaking rapidly, and experiencing an internal turmoil that feels ready to explode.
Causes of Excessive Nervousness
Several factors contribute to an individual’s excessive nervousness, including:
- Genetics: Parents who exhibit irritability and heightened emotional reactions may pass these traits onto their children, leading to a learned behavior regarding irritability.
- The approach of menstruation in women can lead to hormonal fluctuations, resulting in increased emotional sensitivity and irritability over minor issues.
- Early pregnancy or ongoing pregnancy can prompt certain women to feel heightened nervousness, emotional sensitivity, and frequent crying due to physiological changes.
- Poor mental health and exposure to stress, fatigue, or boredom derived from academic or work pressures may cause individuals to lose control over their nerves.
- Feelings of despair due to chronic illness can lead to extreme frustration and anxiety, prompting a person to react violently to their surroundings as thoughts of death become overwhelming.
- In some cases, individuals may intentionally display irritability as a means of fulfilling personal needs, operating under the belief that assertiveness will compel others to comply with their demands.
- Jealousy can also manifest as irritability, affecting individuals in relationships who may struggle with this emotion throughout their marriage, influencing their personality and overall behavior.
- Increased levels of adrenaline in the body are known to heighten feelings of fear, anger, and emotional reactivity.
