For me, it has to be anytime I've had a job interview. I've had a few in my life and to me that's about as nerve wrecking as it gets. I tend to get nervous pretty easily in general though. How about you all?

I was the sole breadwinner. My wife was an at home mother to our kid.
My work told me my job was ending in 3 months. I felt like I was dying.
Fortunately I found a new job before my old job ended. But even just bringing it up I can feel that dread in the pit of my stomach.
I feel you, job interviews never get easy!
For me it was starting a new job in a totally different field and changing careers, that day was the hardest, it was the full realization of my new life!
For me, it’s before a presentation infront of people I don’t know. I gag, get anxious, heart beats really fast and I don’t know what to do. I go blank. Somehow I seem to pull it together and deliver but it’s tough leading up to it.
High school, talking to my crush. I’d open my mouth and nothing came out. mind just went blank and I started stuttering. felt like an idiot every time.
It was on a date. Picked her up at the trainstation to walk to a bar where we would hang out. Was so nervous I could not remember and find the way anymore (in my defense, I usualy came in from another direction...)
Luckily before it got really clear I had no idea I noticed a couple of friends walking (knowing they went to the same bar) so I followed them,
Oof, I can imagine how that must feel. There was one time I had a job interview where, if it didn't work out, I was going to be left jobless. It really felt like all or nothing. I can still feel that pit in my stomach if I think hard enough.
I feel that! Man I haven't thought about high school crushes in a long time, but I definitely remember that sweaty clammy nervousness I'd get. Man I'm glad that part of my life is over! Haha
Honestly, I've actually thought about trying to career change a couple of times. But the sheer thought of starting something brand new in a brand new field .. . Man it just makes me nervous even thinking about it.
That's a big one too. Sometimes I preach for my local church, and I'm an absolute nervous wreck on Sunday mornings. The congregation is super friendly and always very welcoming and supportive, but it never gets any easier. I would say that's the second most nervous I get outside of job interviews!
I also get nervous easily, however once I was car jacked and interestingly I was not nervous but surprised, I was not nervous even do a gun was pointed at my head
It's funny how that happens isn't it? I can have something in my head that I've rehearsed a million times, but as soon as the nerves come out, it's like my mind goes totally blank. I totally feel you.
Getting on the bus and then to the airport to go to bootcamp. I was only 17 and hadn’t even been on an airplane before…
