There are some characters with firm Nerves of Steel. No matter the situation, they'll keep a cool head no matter what, and even in the cases where they do lose said cool head, they'll either regain it in no time or simply go on and do the right thing regardless of their fears. And then, at the other end of the scale, there's these guys. They'll be the first to panic under pressure, and Heroic BSODs are a common thing for them. Pessimistic by nature, they'll automatically assume the worst and worry even when everything's going right. And when the worst really does happen, they might even be reduced to spouting incoherent gibberish and their nervous tic may come out as well. For them, life is one long Freak Out. Often, this character is revealed to have a painful past that left them like this. As such, this is sometimes a trait of a Shrinking Violet, a Cowardly Lion, or a more emotional Broken Bird. Some versions of this will hide their anxiety (or at least try to) behind a cheerful or stoical facade. If malicious, this character is a Dirty Coward who may not look the part when he believes he has the upper hand but will become a blubbering mess whenever he has to deal with his superiors or a competent opponent. Compare Prone to Tears. Contrast The Stoic, Nerves of Steel. |

The Bursar. He starts off fine in Eric and becomes only slightly twitchy after having to put up with the new Archancellor Mustrum Ridcully in Moving Pictures. However the events of that book, and the following one Reaper Man, leave him a paranoid, twitching, nervous mess, who has to be medicated into hallucinating he is sane (previous attempts to cure him of his nervous state proved impossible). | |

On The Mr. Potato Head Show, Happy Whip is a can of whipped cream with Mr. Potato Head arms attached, comes across this way. Whenever he gets emotional (typically afraid, though pride can have this effect as well), he sprays whipped cream everywhere.

The Mr. Men Show: Mr. Nervous. He frequently lapses into daydreams, sort of blown-out-of-proportion scenarios involving whatever is going on around him at the time. Whether it be a short two-minute ride outside a store or a spider crawling out of his musical instrument. He will then usually flee for his life, screaming and shouting "Oh no no no!" or "This is the end!" | |

Bulbasaur from Starters. Throughout the series, he is shown to have a constantly anxious and jumpy personality, and is rather cautious to do things.

Tom and Jerry: In one cartoon, Spike the bulldog can't sleep because of the titular cat and mouse's antics. Spike blames Tom for this and informs him that he's a nervous wreck and illustrates his point by pulling on his own tongue, which, in zany cartoon fashion, causes his ears to flap up and hit each other. He then orders Tom to keep quiet or he will skin the cat alive. Naturally, Hilarity Ensues as Jerry tries to make as much noise as he can, while Tom struggles to keep things quiet. | |

Her social anxiety is so severe that she's spent her entire life without any friends or acquaintances. And even after finding herself in a band like she always wanted, she's so afraid of facing the audience that she spends her first performance inside a cardboard box. | |

In the Miraculous Ladybug story, A Small but Stubborn Fire, As the day goes by, after Marinette’s violent nightmare, Sabine grows increasingly concerned with Marinette's well-being that even customers start to notice that something is off. It gets so bad that the second she is able to get free from the bakery she runs to her daughter’s bedroom and starts to look for anything that can tell her what happened to Marinette. When she starts to connect the dots that Marinette is Ladybug, Sabine is unable to breath probably and desperately tries to find any excuse to tell herself that Marinette isn't Ladybug. It just gets worst form there when she only gets further confirmation. She is unable sleep due to the revelation. |

Star Trek: Picard: Dr. Agnes Jurati is prone to freaking out in situations that would be mundane to other characters. In "Stardust City Rag", she panics at the mere idea of having to use the transporter console to beam up her crewmates. Her pulse and blood pressure are so elevated that they automatically activate the EMH, who asks her, "What is the nature of your psychiatric emergency?" She hyperventilates when Emil offers to give her a sedative. In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1", when La Sirena is traversing a transwarp conduit, she's the only one hiding in her cabin saying "Be over, be over, be over..." while everyone else is on the bridge enjoying the ride. |

Once he actually wins the conference he proceeds to pass out from sheer relief. He gets a lot better after that, thanks to having friends to support him and gaining more confidence in himself as a trainer. | |

Aloth from Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. He's no slouch in combat, but no matter how many powerful foes he defeats, he's constantly advising against picking fights with even vastly inferior foes, and is a neurotic Neat Freak to boot. Most of this stems from his obsessive need to avoid attention, a trait that makes all too much sense when you learn about his backstory. Not only did Aloth have an abusive childhood He's an Awakened, meaning the personality of one of his past lives has emerged in the present, which he desperately tries to suppress as it makes him a pariah in his home country. | |

Aya of Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note has anxiety as her official main attribute. She simply can't handle pressure very well, and in the first few episodes, she actually attempted to run away from problems she can't deal with. Even in the latter half of the Animated Adaptation she nearly has Quivering Eyes Once an Episode. Strangely, this trope also provides for this series' educational value, as she tries to resolve her "uncertainty of the book" — which is supposed to be the kind observed in tween girls, its intended demograpic. | |

Animaniacs: The neurotic Dr. Scratchansniff whose interactions with the Warners always lead to him getting utterly frustrated. Like most cartoon psychiatrists, he needs one more than he needs to be one. A flashback to his first introduction to the Warners shows that it's unsurprisingly 100% their fault due to the way they torment him with their antics, to the point that it only takes them one day to drive him mad enough to completely pull off his own hair. Buttons, although given his situation, it's perfectly understandable. |

The Amazing Digital Circus: As the newbie of the titular show, Pomni is constantly frightened of her new surroundings and having to deal with a group of strangers and Caine. It only gets worse when she has to deal with an "Abstracted" Kaufmo and finds out that the exit is only an unfinished level. Kinger is constantly shaking, has a Thousand-Yard Stare from bloodshot eyes, and cowers in fright when Bubble gets near him. Being the one who's had to put up with Caine's games the longest probably has something to do with it. Having this kind of personality seems to be self-destructive in this virtual world: after the "Abstracted" Kaufmo (who is first seen in his Room Full of Crazy where the word "exit" is written everywhere) is dealt with, Zooble stated that they thought Kinger would have been the next of the current inhabitants to "Abstract" because of this, and Pomni was on the edge of it when she saw the computer in one of the "exit" offices. |

While he does get much better after the Futagoyama incident as far as battles go, he never quite stops acting like this in his everyday life... and then, of course, any progress he made is undone as everything goes straight to hell... | |

Discworld: The Bursar. He starts off fine in Eric and becomes only slightly twitchy after having to put up with the new Archancellor Mustrum Ridcully in Moving Pictures. However the events of that book, and the following one Reaper Man, leave him a paranoid, twitching, nervous mess, who has to be medicated into hallucinating he is sane (previous attempts to cure him of his nervous state proved impossible). Brother Nhumrod in Small Gods. He apparently tends to touch any surface he comes near in case it "might slip away", and has a habit of repeating the last words of a sentence someone's said to him, in addition to a variety of other, undisclosed nervous tics. Brother Nhumrod's behaviour is apparently quite normal for someone who has survived several decades in the Omnian Citadel, home of the Exquisition. |

The Muppet Show: It's fairly safe to say that Beaker fits this trope very well; being on the receiving end of your lab partner's wildly unpredictable experiments will do that to you. For that matter, Shakey Sanchez spends much of the Vincent Price episode in a near catatonic state after being repeatedly swallowed by Behemoth. Then, of course, we have the Screaming Thing, who starts out his sketch "relaxed, calm, and tranquil," but by the end of the numbernote and during it, for that matter, he's anything but. |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Ron starts having trouble eating and worrying constantly after becoming the new Gryffindor Keeper, hearing the song Draco composed for him and allowing his nervousness to affect his performance on the pitch, letting most of the Quaffles in and generally doing very poorly. Later on, Hannah completely falls apart under the pressure of O.W.L. exams. First she has a mental breakdown in the days leading up to the exams and needs a magical tranquilizer from the school nurse, and then she loses her head again in the middle of the transfiguration portion of the exams, multiplying her ferret into a flock of flamingos, resulting in the exam being halted for ten minutes while the staff rounds up the birds and carries them out of the Great Hall, where the exam takes place. |

He actually has no combat ability whatsoever, his reputation coming entirely from being Saitama's battles.

By the second time he appears, he's lost it completely and has a spectacular on-air breakdown. Also, he thinks the Covid vaccines have started talking to him... BBC's Match of the Day commentators start getting really worried when it looks like England might, for once, be actually about to win a championship tournament, so much so that Alan Shearer refuses to let Garry Lineker say anything about football in case they jinx it, and demands he, Garry, and Rio Ferdinand either talk about completely inane nonsense or just sit in utter silence for the rest of the week. |

Constantly panicking in her assignments, a backstory involving a terribly abusive family, and despite being an effective devil hunter, she does NOT want to live in that world. And of course, everything related to her is Played for Laughs. | |

On Bear in the Big Blue House, Tutter often tends to be somewhat more tightly wound than the other characters, often getting upset or worked up over minor things and having to be reminded by Bear to calm down and breathe, or to take quiet time. When he first learns that he's going to school, he ends up getting so worked up over it that Bear and his new teacher have to correct the false assumptions he's built up over it. When he actually gets to school, Bear has to remain outside the school building for quite a while before he becomes comfortable enough for Bear to leave. | |

The Justice Minister in Ghost Trick is always seen as an absolute neurotic mess. It's not just a character trait - the source of his immense stress is quite recent, and once you address it, he immediately becomes noticeably calmer. For the record, he was manipulated by a ghost into signing an innocent man's death warrant, and he told no one about this because he thought no one would believe him, which his wife disagreed with and so left him. | |

Goof Troop: PJ is very uptight, panicky, pessimistic, fearful, and will often be shown trembling or freezing with anxiety. Considering that his father thinks the proper way to raise him is to insult and belittle him and to dominate him through intimidation and power, this is understandable.

Nora, from Hush, Hush seems to constantly fret about things. Granted she does have things worth worrying about, but she also seems hung up on the idea that Patch will leave her for better women (despite him repeatedly proving he won't), that something's going to go wrong with whatever she's doing, that Marcie Miller will do something horrible to her, etc. One notable instance is when she's serving Marcie and several other of her classmates at a restaurant. They demand that she sing "Happy Birthday" to them without offering any proof that it's actually her birthday... and this causes Nora to go to pieces and think that refusing will be grounds to get her fired on the first day of work. | |

This causes Nygma to become the Riddler and seek vengeance. Batman and Robin save Mockridge's life, but the final scene shows it to be a miserable life as he cowers in bed clutching a shotgun, clearly terrified that the Riddler could come back at any moment. | |

Alcryst from Fire Emblem Engage. His Establishing Character Moment involves him ready to open fire on Alear and company, until he realizes who they are, which prompts him to run, jump really high in the air...and then deeply apologize on the ground for almost trying to hurt them. Compared to his more courageous brother Diamant, Alcryst suffers from low self-esteem issues that he can't help demeaning himself while trying to overcome his nervous behavior, which is more exemplified by the allusion of Exhausted Eyebags. The Fell Xenolouge turns the tables on this, because its version of Alcryst is egotistical and looks down upon his brother, whereas Diamant is quite timid. | |

Hal "Otacon" Emmerich, in Metal Gear Solid, was in a state of panic and mortal dread for most of the game, using a stealth camo device to hide from danger, pissing himself when confronted by the Cyborg Ninja, and suffering from no small amount of guilt when he learns that he had been tricked into building a walking nuclear tank. In later games in the series, he gains some confidence, although he still has his moments. His nervousness can also be chalked up to a less-than-ideal childhood: as revealed in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, he had been raped by his stepmother, and when his father found out, he committed suicide and tried to also kill his stepsister. Said father was also revealed in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to have tried to coax him into being the pilot of a prototype mecha that, due to some critical design flaws, could only be operated by Child Soldiers. | |

Maria no Danzai: Poor Yashima is constantly soaked in her own stress sweat. Even after Kowase has seemingly disappeared from her life entirely, both the fear of being pegged as a probable suspect in his disappearance, and the realization that she hopes he stays gone, weigh heavily in her mind. Yuda may no longer be Okaya's toy, but the experience has left him quite jumpy, to say the least. He's easily intimidated, yet at the same time is constantly on the verge of murdering anyone who becomes too aggressive with him. |

Transformers: Animated: Skywarp exaggerates this. Here, the Seekers are clones of Starscream, each with one aspect of his personality, and Skywarp has his Dirty Cowardice. Thus, the only emotional and mental state he can process is utter fear. No wonder fans see him as The Woobie. | |

Rick from Basic Instructions is afraid of so many things that, ironically enough, he's lost all fear of fear, and settles for being terrified of everything else. Scott dubs him a "Renaissance coward". At one point he gets promoted and specifies that he kept quiet in the hope that his boss wouldn't realise he was having a panic attack. | |

Aaron, Moses' older brother in The Prince of Egypt. It's done for humor, and not—to children he comes off as a coward because of his repeated efforts to stop Miriam from talking back and babbling apologies to the Egyptians. Older viewers realize he's so panicky because he's seen hundreds of beatings and executions with no end in sight, and he's terrified that she's going to get both of them killed. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Fluttershy has intense social anxiety that frequently manifests as panic attacks and paralyzing nervousness in anything resembling a public situation or in any kind of danger. However, she largely grows past these issues in later seasons. Rainbow Dash normally presents the exact opposite of this. However, in a few cases it's shown that her cocky façade is just that, and when she is no longer able to put up that façade she collapses into a ball of nerves. |

Lori reacts to motherhood this way in Aunt Dimity Digs In. In an exaggerated bid to childproof the cottage, she fastens the kitchen cabinet doors so securely that no one can open them, padlocks the medicine cabinet and misplaces the key, and covers the edges of the coffee and end tables with miles of cotton batting. Ultimately, Bill finds her trying to wrestle their mattress out of its frame and onto the floor so the boys cannot crawl under it, although their little knees have yet to touch the carpet. Though she does calm down with time (and the services of a couple of nannies), Lori is still apt to react badly to the idea that her sons could get hurt, and the start of their schooling at Morningside in nearby Upper Deeping sets off another crisis in Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter. | |

Yuri from Doki Doki Literature Club! It's implied Yuri has some kind of anxiety issues, based on her shyness, her tendency to overthink things and second-guess herself, and her fear of coming off bad socially, in part due to her odd interests. During her Sanity Slippage, she mentions she keeps feeling like something bad is going to happen, even while confessing to the player. Some of the things she describes (loud breathing, pounding heart, etc.) both describe the feelings of obsessive love and an anxiety episode as well. This is one of many factors that could have contributed to her suicide. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us Bernadetta von Varley, an extremely skittish girl who almost never leaves her dorm room if she can help it and whose usual response whenever someone tries to engage her in conversation is either to beg them not to kill her or to accuse them of trying to humiliate her. Her B-Support with Byleth reveals that the cause for her anxiety is her father's attempts to train her to be a "good, submissive wife" so he could marry her off to a wealthy and powerful family. Said training involved such lovely techniques as forbidding her from making friends and tying her to a chair and demanding she remain silent. | |

Suzanne from Surprising Octeal is extremely jumpy and skittish and prone to over-analyzing social situations. Notably though, she lacks a lot of the other traits frequently associated with this trope. She's at least decent in conversations, nothing particularly bad happened in her past, and she seems to be almost terminally brave in dangerous situations. She's just really panicky once a conversation gets complicated. | |

She's known for her frequent panic attacks and habit of clamming up when talking to others. This is part of why she's good friends with Lenore, who's very relaxed and a calming influence. Ivy also has problems with anxiety, her highly neurotic personality causing her to assume the worst of others and "shut down" in stressful situations. It isn't helped at all by her having a noticeable stutter that gets worse the more nervous she is. |
