Grrrr. A giant orange spider tried to land on me a week ago, being a light sleeper that i am, I felt the wind of his whisp flying down towards me and grabbed him in the dark and popped his body with my hand. I didnt even mean too. I acted spontaneously when i felt something hitting my forehead at 2am. I heard his body snap when i popped it like a pimple and when i turned the light on, his legs were all curled up on my quilt. GROSS!

Well, like Lowered wrote, it's a confidence thing, mostly. Probably a self-esteem issue too. I personally don't have problems with someone who is nervous, if he or she is honest about it. That's probably why I can be an extrovert well enough to make people comfortable. Get them to relax, and they'll get over being nervous. A lot of it is family upbringing. Someone who was shy, yelled at for it, or in general etc. will be more obviously nervous then others. It's a lot of why I prefer people with animals, who are comfortable with them. You can't really be nervous around animals, because they'll getting upset themselves. Cool confidence wins every day. After all, nervous up on a 1200lb horse could get ya killed. And we won't even go into cattle and their reactions. It's what gets people in trouble with dog bites.
