Did I overreact by asking a late classmate to move in dance class?

[Anonymous]

So I was at a dance class. A girl had come in after me kinda late.

She came and stood to my left leaving almost no space for me as opposed to trying to find a spot to my right where all the others who came late were joining.

It's because her friends were there. Annoyed eventually I said excuse me and when she was saying there's nos pace I beckoned for her to join to my right (at the end of the line where she first was).

She let out a laugh and so did another girl.

I feel embarrassed as it made me look like a tool but really she shouldn't have tried to expect someone else to adjust when she's the one who came late.

I think you know the answer to this already. It sounds like you're feeling bothered by it.

I think it sounds a little bit unkind. But I wouldn't let it weigh you down.

Personally, I would probably go to her at the next class and just say, I'm sorry for how I responded to you the other day.

Do you need to? Maybe not. It doesn't seem like anything huge. But if your conscience is bothering you about it, it could go a long way by addressing it with her.

I don't think it was unkind. I felt like I'm embarrassed the others saw and might have judged me.

She came late why would she come in and cut someone like that. It was so obvious I was annoyed and yet she wasn't moving

I think I misunderstood what all happened a bit. I wouldn't worry about it anymore. I'm similar in that I worry how others perceive me. It sounds like you don't know her friends. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if they judged you. I'm sorry you felt that way and the embarrassment of it.

Not necessarily; if they are disrupting the class flow, it's fair to ask for space politely.
