Im in class, and we just got 3 new students. And one of them are very mouthy. She wasnt here for 5 minutes and there was already an argument with another student. I got very uncomfortable and felt like i wanted to curl up in the fetal position in the corner. I cant handle tension like that. I wonder why? But I get so nervous in that kind of environment. How do I get past this feeling?

Maybe talk to the instructor and express that all the distubances and mouthyness of some students (not mentioning names)..cause you to have a harder time concentrating on your studies.

Hi... I had maybe sort of a similar experience recently... I was in a group and someone who was pretty vocal and slightly argumentative was bothering me and i felt like i wanted to get up and leave the room, felt very shaky and edgy. Fortunately it only lasted about 5 minutes and i was eventually able to calm back down.

Wish i had some good advice... are you able to do breathing exercises or anything? How long did it last and did it happen just the once? Maybe just realizing it will pass and thinking about something else?
