The phrase 'be nervous about' describes a state of feeling anxiety or worry when anticipating something, particularly when confronted with situations perceived as challenging or threatening. This anticipation might result in physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, or trembling, and emotionally, it might lead to doubt or lack of confidence regarding the impending event.
