Is it just me or do any of you also feel nervous around people you admire?

why do some people if not all feel nervous around those that they admire and respect highly? even when those people are supportive towards us like a teacher for example. I am a martial artist and every time I train and my Sifu(teacher) watches I get very self-conscious and try to find mistakes before he does or I sweat more. he is very supportive in a tough way and clearly would never make me feel bad or whatever and has reassured me when I ever felt doubtful and all that. yet I feel nervous around him. lets get a visual so you can "see" he is 6ft tall wears a constant "poker face" just generally is hard to "read" compared to others and he is extremely confident body language and all. I admire him very much and respect him yet I feel extreemly insecure around him but sometimes not....what the heck?

axeman66	Posted May 31st, 2009 at 5:21AM it's natural to feel a little nervous around someone you percieve to have few if any faults. they're no more or less human than you, it's just not so easy to see that sometimes. Rated: +3Vote for this!

NiteMich	Posted May 31st, 2009 at 1:09AM Sorry, but I dont - we're all made of the same stuff afterall. That doesnt mean I dont admire people, as I do admire quite a lot of people but just dont really do the whole nervous thing. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Colourfuntional	Posted May 31st, 2009 at 5:26AM I get that too. The other day me and my friends were talking about what we would do if we saw a celebrity that we really admire walking down the street. And a few of my friends said things like, "Yeah, i would run over a hug him!" And i just thought..."If i really thought about it, i would probobly not even say hi. I would be too nervous" Even though there's nothing to be nervous ABOUT. What's the worst that can happen? He won't hear you? So i guess everyone get's it a little bit. Fear is just a subconsious thing - irrational fear is just odd. But we all get it. If anyone is scared of spiders, that's an irrational fear too. And LOTS of people are scared of spiders :) (including me!) Rated: +1Vote for this!
