I also will yawn, scratch my face. Stare at the floor. Put my hands in my pockets or cross my arms.

I avoid making eye contact. It takes a conscious effort on my part for me to actually look at someone when they're talking to me.
I often don't acknowledge people. People are understandably offended by that as they don't know why I have seemingly "ignored" them.
I sometimes pretend to be tired or asleep when I'm feeling particularly anxious.
I clasp my hands together, interlace my fingers or otherwise fidget.
I pretend to be intensely interested in things e.g. my phone so that I can pretend I haven't noticed people and/or avoid socialising.
Zarrix said:i'm like that, too. its embarassing especially at work, because when i'm being given a list of instructions, or having explained to me how to do something, i'm not paying attention. then i have to figure out later, what to do. even if i asked them to repeat it, it wouldnt be any use because i still woulnt be able to pay attention.littlematchgirl said:All these and...
Dont actually listen to what people say when im nervous. This is because my mind is somewhere else though. So I guess what they just said. Its so embarrassing if I am wrong, ill think about it for the rest of the day. Better than asking for a repeat 5 times though. Lesser of two evils
.
often a person tells me something, and a few seconds later i ask them about what they've already just told me, making it obvious i wasnt listening. thats embarassing.

I do that too! It's only when I'm in a public place and I'm feeling uneasy. But, I will have a conversation! And what's really lame is that my "conversations" are all the same! They usually consist of: "Oh my gosh! I don't know why he/she said that! What a jerk!" And then I go on from there, making it all up as I go!Weboboy said:Have fake conversations on my cell phone when in public places. Laughing
