How do you overcome nervousness?
I don't get nervous until the VERY last minute... like at guard competitions, I wouldn't be nervous until we were in a line and the announcer was booming "And next on the floor from Carrollton, Texas..." I just mostly focus on something other than what I'm supposed to be doing and then I end up enjoying the moment.
Other than that, I'm not a nervous person. :O

I can't. x.x Normally I just have to deal with it until I either finish the test or get the performance over with. I'm on edge the whole time hah

I breathe in cleansing breaths from yoga, close my eyes and then shake my whole body and then imagining everyone else sucking :D

I vomit. :lol: I always puke on opening night, and then it's over and done with. I get a little shaky before I go on stage, but after that preliminary ralphing, it's usually over.
Nervousness before tests or what have you, it just passes I guess. My hand shakes a little as I'm holding the pencil or the speech but once I get going I just ignore everything and try to get it over with. Maybe not the healthiest attitude, but it works for me.

Deal with it, usually. XD
Once I'm going I'm fine (mostly).

Get over it >.<
If it's something like flying or a blood test, go pale and nearly pass out is a regular thing.

I usually just do it and get it over with or procrastinate untill I can't do it. At guard competitions I just focus on my show and I have no problem except for the adrenaline that makes me a little jittery.

depends on the situation. most times i can't, but i usually try to hold it in untill after what i'm nervous about is out of the way or have some kind of an attack *___*

I don't really get nervous much. And how I deal with it... hmm, that's too complicated to explain on a forum. The same way I have learned to deal with all of my anxiety, really.

I can't get over it - I just get past whatever was making me nervous, and I feel sick until it's done XD

I usually don't get nervous until the very second I'm supposed to start (ex. open my mouth to sing a solo, etc). But the second after I start, I'm cool again. I usually just get that sudden, yet highly uncomfortable, leap of my heart.
