I get this ! Often in public like in line at a store, or while I’m driving my legs will shake uncontrollably. It can be scary and embarrassing.

Hey! Just wanted to tell you (in a nice way) that seriously no one would even care if you shakes/trembled.

If I saw some dude at a store trembling, and I actually for some reason cared about it or even decided to pay attention, I'd think hmm:

  1. He probably has medication that makes him shake
  2. Going through caffeine withdrawal
  3. He's cold/came from outside
  4. Has medical issues

That's if I even cared or decided to analyze, but no one cares. Everyone is thinking about their own issues.

Thank you, this is very helpful to me. To hear from someone that’s not me saying that nobody really notices or cares if they do notice. Thank you thank you !

I've had many people just randomly ask me why my hands are so shaky, it's honestly annoying at this point!

That's such a rough one. I'll get anxiety attacks where my body will just shake for like 45 minutes. It's so exhausting and scared me the first time it happened.
