How to cope with an individual who is the stressor?

[Dr. A]

Most times stress comes with work overload, deadline, an upcoming interview or high expectations, however, sometimes it is an individual who is a stressor like a particular teacher for a student. Just the thought of that teacher can provoke anxiety and nervousness in students. Unfortunately, the student has to face this particular teacher daily. In such cases, what is the best approach to reduce anxiety for the student? Should the teacher be avoided altogether? Should the student change the classroom? Should the teacher be warned or even changed?

I feel it would be worth hearing both the sides, that is, the teacher's and the student's separately, and may be by sitting together too, and see what exactly is the root problem and tackle it from there. What would your approach be?

Coping with someone who causes stress involves setting clear boundaries, communicating effectively, and managing your emotions. It’s important to assert yourself without confrontation, not take things personally, and ensure you prioritize your mental health and self-care.

I try to avoid being around people who make me feel stressed. Because of my mental health challenges, I prioritize my well-being and refuse to let anyone add to my stress, especially when I’m already feeling low. It’s essential to set limits and know when to say no for the sake of your mental health.

If the teacher is someone coming to read from slides and go back to home this will establish a bad relationship with students. Even students could read slides. This will increase rate of stress and negative impact between student and teacher.

Anyone doesn't have to live in constant anxiety because a person makes him or her go through some mental stress. The teacher should be changed. If not possible, I would change schools. Living in constant anxiety because of one teacher is not good for your mental health and overall wellbeing.

limit your interactions or distance yourself, this is the best remedy. Focus on self-care techniques like mindfulness or physical activity to maintain your well-being. Seek support from trusted friends, family, or a therapist if the stressor's impact becomes overwhelming.
