A scared person- His teeth chattered and his boddy was shaking with deep breaths as he tried to calm his heart rate. His hands grew clamy and it seemed like it was getting harder to breathe.

A worried person- She wrung her hands over one another. The room seemed to close in around her and she began to feel a bit queasy, holding her stomach to contain the butterflies.

Well those are a bit bad because I was trying to really focus on ONE emotion, but you get the point. Also: Try writing many different emotions at once! We aren't just scared we're also a bit UNSURE. We're not just happy, we can also be EXCITED.
