What are some good ways to deal with a nervous person?

Question

I mean how can you make them more comfortable?

Answer 1

patience, im one, you dont know how horrible it can feel. talk to them and try to understand.

Answer 2

Yes, nervous people.  Here are some tips I have learned.  The main thing to do is to not concentrate on their symptoms of nervousness (shaking, lack of voice control, and so on) - or at least don't look like you are.  It can be hard as it is so obvious but if you act calm and collected, the chances are they will relax around you.

As you talk, don't keep a steady gaze on them but look around to take some pressure off them.  This can help to make a big difference.

Until they 'warm up to you' and relax, talk about yourself rather than putting the pressure on them to answer questions or tell stories while they are trying to get their nerves under control.

Hope that helps! :-)
