Colleague shakes around me

[Despiteallmyrageiamstilljustaratinacage]

It's not an AIBU but didn't really know where to put it!
I highly doubt he's interested, after 5 months I'd know by now if he was. He often blushes when we talk, and the other day he was holding a coffee flask and I noticed his hand was trembling.
He also seems to be jittery and almost jumpy sometimes around me. It might be anxiety, I understand because I can be shy and anxious.
I don't think he is interested as I say, I'm more wondering if there's something I am doing which makes him uncomfortable? I don't think I'm a threatening person at all, I smile a lot, I don't stand too closely too him etc.
I usually bump into him around the office, he seems happy to chat to me and doesn't try to escape or anything, so I don't think he dislikes me, just wondering if I can make him more at ease in any way? It might just be how he is in general.

He smiles and jokes a lot, I feel a little bad for him if he's feeling that way inside, or maybe he isn't and that's just how he comes across.

Maybe he’s got a nervous disorders

Is he like that with other people? - might be a physical cause!

Maybe.. I don't know him well enough to ask and it's nothing to do with me anyway, but recently he's made a lot of reference to being ill and visiting the doctor, it seemed to go on for about 7 weeks. As I say I didn't want to ask what it was but he's mentioned it a few times

Tbh, I haven't noticed! I've only really seen him interact with one or two men and he wasn't then, but they're old friends so probably just feels a lot more at ease. But I've hardly seen him with anyone, he's a very introverted person and not really into group stuff.
I did think I was imagining it but I'm not.

Keep your distance from him, polite smile and hello and keep walking. If you make him nervous in a negative way, its for the best. If you make him nervous because he likes you, then it's also for the best so he knows where he stands.

Could be something medical.

If you are being friendly and professional you are already doing as much as it's appropriate for you to be doing, and anything else is his to solve for.

Thank you. When I see him he asks me lots of questions and will happily chat to me for 10 minutes . He's always smiling and stuff .
I guess you're right, that's all I can do. It could indeed be medical, it's none of my business anyway I just wondered if it was my body Language or something..

I always shake, I have an essential tremor, it affects my hands and sometimes my head. I find it very embarrassing as I worry that people will assume I'm nervous. I'm not, it's just a medical condition. I would be mortified if someone felt the need to discuss it with others on a forum. I get by by hoping it's not noticeable, or by being honest with people if they ask me about it. I'd much prefer people just asked.

If he struggles socially but wants to make a connection as his questions suggest, then I'd advise lots of personal space and if possible reduce your eye contact. Make your coffee, do your copying whatever while he talks, just glancing at him occasionally and giving verbal indications you're listening.

I understand and I apologise truly if I've caused any offence. With him it isn't a permanent issue, he doesn't always have it.
It's just a general nervous vibe as such, along with blushing and things as I felt more that it was something I was doing, not that I was questioning his medical history as such. But again I am sorry.

That's a good idea, thank you. I do think he's cute and maybe I do look a little longer than I should without realising, so that might be something I'll have to work on.

I think he is attracted to you. Many years ago when I was in the 6th form one of the boys had a crush on me - he used to blush and had a nervous twitch in his leg when he talked to me. I know he had a crush because he did eventually ask me out.

Aww, that's sweet.
Honestly, I don't think he is. Also my other colleague knows him and he said this guy tried to warn him against getting involved romantically at work because it's a 'really bad idea ' so I just don't think he is.. but who knows.

I'm older than you - been around the block a bit - and I think he fancies you, regardless of what he said to his friend!
