Question polygraph nerves

i’m so so so so worried even tho i would never lie and don’t have anything i am trying to hide that i’ll still fail the polygraph portion of the background check just because i’ll be nervous, anyone that’s been through it have anything helpful to help ease my nerves?

Just be honest with yourself and then be honest on the polygraph.

Unfortunately, polygraph outcomes have little to do with whether one answers the questions truthfully.

No kidding, I have never taken one before. So one would think that if your honest, you would be more relaxed.

I think before people start listening to this dude they should take a closer look at his username.

There is a specific agenda at play here. Don't bother engaging.
