Feeling nervous due to first aid and CPR 2 hour course scheduled for today with normies

[fallenghost]

Today, I find myself feeling nervous about attending a first aid and CPR course that lasts for two hours. The source of my anxiety stems from the fact that I'll be surrounded by people whom I dub as normies. Throughout my life, I have encountered numerous challenges and faced adversity head-on. Unfortunately, the majority of individuals I've encountered have treated me poorly, primarily because of my somewhat goofy appearance and lack of popularity. In light of these circumstances, I am seeking guidance on how to mentally prepare and motivate myself for this upcoming course.

It's easy, you'll be pumping the upper chest area to bee gees staying alive while the teacher lectures you about some bullshit, you barely interact and there is only one or two exercises you need two people for and they are all as awkward as you are since no one knows what the fuck they are doing.

I will not do CPR even if I stumble upon a collapsed person they are not entitled to my air sweaty

This upcoming first aid course will mark my second attempt at it since 2018. Memories of that previous experience flood back; it was a jam-packed class where no one wanted to sit next to me except for one kind soul who reluctantly joined me under the instructor's orders. The course spanned over two days and required us to pair up with someone else - an incredibly uncomfortable situation considering how much I found my partner attractive. During one break, all the normal people were mingling effortlessly while she swiftly realized that I stood out from the rest. She wasted no time moving away from me as soon as another empty seat became available, publicly humiliating me in front of both our instructor and classmates alike. The lingering silence and shame continue to haunt me even now

I can't even spend a single minute around normies, I hope it's not that painful to bare

Update: I received an update that the course was initially planned for only 2 individuals, but I was informed that 7 additional participants would be joining in the next hour. However, upon arriving at the location, I was surprised to find over 20 people already present, with more expected to arrive. Feeling overwhelmed by my anxiety and past traumas, I decided to leave the situation after taking a moment to reflect on myself in the restroom mirror. Thanks

Expect the unexpected. Hope you feel better. I can say "pay them no mind" but I've had several people including people who are non-NT tell me that I am unusually callous and distant, so I can't relate to someone whose very anxious.

Due to the severe anxiety caused by a lifetime of mistreatment, I have developed a habit of evading uncomfortable situations. During my second attempt at a first aid course today, I mustered up the courage to inform the instructor that I couldn't stay due to my lack of confidence in interacting with strangers. His confusion was evident as I walked away from the small class again! Despite feeling like a coward, it's disheartening when you realise that your treatment by others is beyond your control.
