Jitterily

Jitterily describes acting in a nervous, shaky, or restless way, often stemming from anxiety, excitement, or fear.

It implies a visible manifestation of these internal states, such as trembling, fidgeting, or a jumpy demeanor.

The word suggests a lack of composure and a feeling of being on edge. This behaviour is usually short lived, though some can experience longer periods depending on the stressor.
