Classmate confronted me tonight

It’s very hard to provide a true opinion in this because you did not provide what this course is about and what your input was when sharing your opinion on what this teacher was covering in this course.

Given that you genuinely want to know why you experience these kind of challenges I want to respect that desire. Sometimes opening up thinking it’s allowing self to be vulnerable can come out where the input one provides may be too strong and critical even judgmental.

I don't see it as necessary to tell you the name of the course I took and what it was about; especially since the instructor and the student profiled in this thread are now reading it (along with god knows who else from the course).

If your advice hinges on details, well then consider yourself off the hook as I've provided as much detail as I deem necessary for the issue, which was that my classmate bullied me because my response to the instructor's request for feedback, apparently made her irate. Well, that's on the classmate, not me.

If you need a recap:

The instructors asked their students for feedback. Not everyone participated in giving feedback. I participated. I gave my feedback. I had a genuinely positive experience and was quite emotionally when I shared my feedback. If that caused my classmate to become irate - that is completely on HER. My feedback was not negative in any sense (my feedback as not directed at the classmate or the instructors as it was a reflection type feedback about ME) and was about how helpful the course was for me, personally, and my feedback included me thanking the two instructors and then sharing how the course impacted me personally. If the classmate felt I took up too much time, that's just her personal problem.

The fact that the two instructors refused to get involved in the conflict that classmate caused by contacting me (so creepy that she did that) to bully me (a complete stranger) about how long I took to reflect (I think it was under 15 minutes, actually). There was no set time limit on our feedback either. It's not like I gave a TED Talk for christ sake on the course, and how useful it had been for me. I spoke for about 10-11 minutes I think.

That's all the information I can give you.

Maybe the instructor felt you took over too much. She felt threatened in a way you don’t see or understand.

Idk if these people see this thread or if reactions you have gotten seem like they must have seen your thread

I am not trying to criticize you. I see you run into these type of challenges and you are genuinely looking to improve yourself to reduce that.

If this course is finished then at this point all you can do is a review and see what can be avoided in the future.

I agree that a classmate intruding on you was not a healthy move on her part.
