Some people get more nervous than others. For them, feeling nervous is a particularly uncomfortable experience and makes them even more anxious. A person who has stressful physical sensations and worries about anxious feelings is said to be anxiety sensitive.

A sensation seeker craves excitement and often acts without thinking clearly about the consequences. Sometimes boredom will cause you to seek excitement, and at other times, when you are feeling high energy, you might find yourself craving even more excitement.
