I'm so annoyed with my classmate. He never respects me. I'm quite weak, what should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I'm really annoyed with my desk mate. He always disrespects me. I'm quite weak, but when we clash, I end up being very violent towards him. But sometimes when I calm down, I realize this isn't the real me. I sometimes don't even know who I really am? He often curses at me, and whenever we talk, he gets angry no matter who initiates the conversation. I know it's a joke, but I just tend to avoid it. Even when I'm angry, he still calls me by my nickname, the kind that is really mean, and I don't know how to deal with it. So I just get angry by myself. Then when I'm in a good mood, he calls me by my nickname again, and I feel uncomfortable. I tell him to stop, but he just keeps on calling me that. What should I do? I'm in my senior year of high school, and I don't want my emotions to affect my studies.

Hello, question owner!

From your description, I want to commend the questioner for actively seeking ways to change when they encounter confusion. This shows that you are a positive thinker who wants to change and has expectations. Is that right?

Secondly, your confusion stems from your deskmate, right?

If the owner of the question is not all bad to you, he will accept some of your venting. However, after you vent, you feel that this is a bit of a contrast to your usual self, so you feel uncomfortable. Is this right?

Let me be clear: your classmate calls you a nickname, which makes you feel uncomfortable. When you get angry, your classmate stops, but then he repeats it again and again. You also don't like this nickname very much. After you told your classmate, he still didn't stop. This is affecting your studies. Is this correct?

First of all, I am certain that in addition to school violence, there will always be someone who bothers you in some way in the questioner's school life. This may be helpful or have a negative influence on you. This is very strange behavior in adolescence. For example, someone says the harshest things, but then does the gentlest, etc.

I am determined that the third year of high school will be free from any distractions that might affect my studies. I have some suggestions for the questioner that I am confident will be helpful.

First, adjust your mindset.

A good attitude leads to good results. It doesn't matter if you're stressed about senior year or dealing with a difficult neighbor. The most important thing is to adjust your attitude. Don't be anxious. Don't compare yourself to others. Just compare yourself to your past self.

Take a deep breath, go for a run, or talk to your parents or teachers.

Believe that wrong questions are angels.

My hypnosis teacher was clear: repeating the wrong questions will make them right. When you encounter difficulties and wrong questions, believe that they are your path to improvement. This accumulation will make you better and better.

You must believe in the power of accumulation.

No matter how big a stone is, it cannot prevent a seed from sprouting. The reason is that once the seed starts to sprout, the division of cells, although not fast, will never end. Everyone knows the truth behind the saying "a drop of water can wear through a stone." It's time to believe it. Everyone at the starting point is like a cell or a drop of water, but most people mistakenly believe or hope that they are strong and sharp like a laser beam at the starting point, which is unrealistic. It's time to stop that.

You must cultivate patience through learning and use patience to wait for the unimaginable benefits and strength that can be gained after long-term accumulation.

Set clear goals and take things one step at a time.

First, you need to be clear about your goal. With a goal, you won't be swayed by your classmate. You will find time to study, one step at a time, and make a plan for yourself. You will do it, because it's better to do than not to do.

You must establish a sense of boundaries.

If your neighbor is really bothering you, talk to them. If it works, great. If not, switch seats or draw a clear line. They'll stop disturbing you. Give it a try.

I wish the questioner success in the college entrance exams and I am certain that he will get into the university of his dreams.

You've got this. Keep going, and I guarantee things will get better and better.

I understand how frustrating that can be. It's important to set boundaries. Maybe you could calmly tell him the nicknames hurt your feelings and ask for a more respectful conversation.

It sounds tough being in this situation, especially with studies on the line. Perhaps talking to a teacher or counselor could offer some support and advice on handling the situation effectively.

It's really hard when someone continuously disrespects you. Have you considered writing down your feelings and showing him how his actions affect you? Sometimes seeing things in writing can make an impact.

Dealing with a desk mate like that is really challenging. Finding a moment when he's calm, try having an honest conversation about how his words affect you and see if he can understand where you're coming from.

It's not easy dealing with such a conflict while focusing on your studies. Maybe setting up ground rules for how you both interact could help. If he sees you're serious, he might start treating you with more respect.
