i play the game for 1-2 hours a day (not everyday) and i shake a lot when warming up. and after playing 2 - 3 beatmaps, my nervosity decreases. is that normal?

kinda a dumb question but i just wanna know

Pretty much normal,i have it too. Basically my theory is that you feel less like you're in control while playing the game and get more nervous because you haven't warmed up yet. Or it could be that you're constantly nervous but you just get used to that nervousness. Or it could also be excitement because you get to play the game and hope to see good performance during warmup.

Too many possible reasons
I think you get the idea at this point

I think you should just play like nobody is watching and with no expectations for yourself, that will make you less nervous

In my opinion the warmup session is always the funniest part because you basically do not care about combo, accuracy or performance points. Like I just have fun warming up

I think I have a few ideas:

Might be morning anxiety if you play pretty early after waking up. Or maybe drinking caffeinated drinks would cause you to be nervous.

Could be your expectations when you go in and play?

Maybe you're just too exicted to play osu lmao.

I see. Maybe it's one of the other suggestions brought up above. It's not too much of problem right? Especially since it disappears after you play a few beatmaps at the start.
