Anytime if I'm in a interview or filling out an application and they ask a question similar to "tell me a little bit about yourself", i get very anxious on what to say or where to start.

For the scenarios you mention, you can and should practice the responses. It's not asked out of genuine cruiosity but rather formality and the responses usually follow certain boilerplates though you can definitely get creative if you want.

This, and they're giving you an opportunity to tick a box on their list. So it's a good idea to check the job description / requirements and think of examples that show how you meet what they're looking for.
