There's this girl in my class who gets mad anxious if someone even just asks what the professor's name is. She gets anxious over the smallest of things, and can't stand up for herself to save her life. She was assigned some work over this class fest thing, and she knew she couldn't handle it, but still said she'd do it when the professor asked her. She could've said no. But she didn't. She was given a choice.
So, a few days ago, I was sick and couldn't come to help the rest with preparations. I msged her saying so, on our collective WhatsApp group, and she didn't reply. But this other girl msged me on personal saying I should just msg the professor directly cuz I knew the anxious girl gets anxious a lot when given responsibilities. I got frustrated, and just ended up going the next day, even though I was sick, and helped them around a little before going home. I was still frustrated yesterday, and told my other friend about how I was frustrated, and i didn't understand why the girl had to act like some kind of a lawyer for the anxious girl, and the friend was like, she gets anxious, you should understand, bla bla bla.
Thing is, I do understand, but there is a limit to how long this goes on. I've seen that girl crying and sobbing because of the stress she was in, and u feel bad, but at the same time, at least ask for help??? Ask the others in class to help her tell the professor she couldn't do it??? And then that friend went and told that lawyer wannabe girl about what I said, and she texted me about how I'm an adult too, and I could've just talked to her directly if I had a problem with her and s*t, and I was so mad, I just ended up apologizing and explaining I was just frustrated. And honestly?? I feel like I'm never going to be able to talk to these friends about something I simply need help making a decision.

@WALALALA first of all they shouldn't have given her any responsibility and lawyer wannabe if she care so much bout her she could have told the prof about her condition😭good luck with the project tho and take good care of yourself don't tire yourself out when you are sick just say you can't do it when you aren't feeling good

@WALALALA I understand both sides tbh, I understand that you get frustrated but the anxious girl can’t help it probably since if she is a very anxious person. She can have problems at home and have trauma or she could have experienced bullying and now have a hard time dealing with hard situations and responsibilities. She could also have some sort of diagnosis as autism but haven’t gotten that diagnosis yet. My sister was pretty much the same just not the crying part and she ended up with a autism diagnosis. I understand that you’re frustrated at both the anxious and lawyer girl but maybe the lawyer girl knows what the anxious girl is going through and just wanna help her friend out since she has a hard time talking and standing up for herself? I hope that the professor could see that she anxious girl was anxious and gave her some help instead of just pushing her to her limits. And I hope you manage to get some rest with the sickness and I hope the lawyer girl can get a bit less defensive about her friend and help her friend stand up for herself a bit instead of being the safe place for the anxious girl because that just makes it harder for the anxious girl to get better
