I'm realy not sure this is the right forum.. so feel free to move it.

While we were having maths today I sat next to a girl I don't usually talk much to. she's been away for a while, some kind of exchange student. Well she seemed to have trouble with the problem we had to solve so I asked her if I should help and she said ok. Suddenly while I'm helping her she starts crying, and I just went totally blank, got uneasy, wanted to run off, my breathing going mad. All I could think was I have to teach her, so I just kept explaining and she just keeps crying becuase she couldn't understand any of it, I guess her mind went blank, she said afterwards it was all a little overwhelming and she felt stupid. My mouth just kept talking trying to explain it, and I was so frustrated I couldn't make her understand, meanwhile there was like a RUN! signal going through my brain. It realy felt like when panicking.

Why would I react in such a wierd way to others being sad? And how do I change it? If others are physically hurt I'm usually very clear minded and good at helping, and calming them down too. I don't know where it that panick came from.

Hello is this. I hope things are getting better for you at this time. One reason you may have panicked was because you have never taught someone math before and you got nervous, but you seemed to handle it pretty well. Sometimes when a surprise comes people with panic can not get adjusted quickly enough to calm down the nervousness we really feel. The person getting upset probably made you upset as well. I STILL think you are very courageous to help someone in need, Ihope yur friend feels better soon as well adjusting to a new school is hard for a whoile. I hope you do your best to help her if you can, with your math talents. I hope the best for you Is this, Take care Soidhonia
