Don't suffer in silence. You should not be ashamed to admit that you have anxiety.
If he continues to bother you, you might be able to get him removed.

 

Well I just found out he's almost done with his course.

 

I almost feel sorry for him. How insecure he must be to think that by putting others down it somehow makes him look better. What a sad little person.

 

He's actually well liked by most there.

 

My solace back in school was that those who bullied me were dumb as a doorbell. They actually didn't know the difference between 'heterosexual' and 'homosexual', so I basically offended them by calling them 'straight'.

 

He's freaking smart though.

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong! Maybe he's trying to help me because he's actually calling me out on something I can improve on!

 

Yeah, so said the guy who crippled a car accident victim because he didn't know the first thing about first-aid.

Hell is paved with good intentions, mate. If he's not helping, he should stop 'trying to help'.

I wouldn't go that far. People like to laugh at the class-clown shenanigans, but that's usually as far as their sympathy for them goes.

 

Well he's never been outright rude or anything.

 

Sorry, but I am about to do what he did:

This didn't sound like he was very polite... in fact it sounds like he picks on you.

Look, don't victim blame yourself, ok?

 

If I let him correct me I am learning right?

 

Part of being intelligent is to know when to keep your mouth closed, and just listen. If he wants to help, he could do it in private. Otherwise, he is an insecure pathetic bully.

 

He could stand to learn a few things too. First of all, some goddamned manners.

Look, don't kid yourself. If he wanted to help he'd make that clear. He did nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt.

 

Same logic goes for me too.

 

There's a difference between knowing when to shut up, and being afraid to speak.

I wish half the people I know would apply this logic. This guy is not Sheldon, it sounds like he's specifically chosen you. I would evaluate the seating arrangement and choose to relocate.

 

Maybe I'll just ask why he's doing it.

 

I was thinking of suggesting that, but i wasn't sure if you would be too anxious to try it. If he won't listen to you, try to avoid him.

 

Okay. And what are you planning on doing with that knowledge?

 

He seems reasonable and all, kt wouldn't hurt to try.

 

The only way to know for sure you'll lose a battle, is to never try in the first place.
Go for it. He might not even realize that he's doing it. (or, he's just a jerk)

 

My sister found the "art" I have of my starbound character. I gave her the username + password to an admin account on my computer when I meant to give her a standard user account so she could use my computer for drawing.

Well, she decided to go through my folders. Pretty embarrassed really.
