Has anyone ever started "literally shaking" in your presence and why did it happen?

Oversensitive ppl? I honestly don't know. I just call things as I see them (if you are being stupid and/or immature, I will tell you. If you are fucking up, I will tell you. And I will tell you why) and several times in my life off the top of my head whoever I called out started crying. All males, ironically.

TBF, one was in a college English class where the instructor was just ragging on a kid who obviously didn't know the answer and I called them both out for wasting all of our time. The kid starting crying but I can't really take full credit for it.

Edit: Reading that back, I guess I'm just an asshole LOL.

Yes, but it wound up being the gin shivers because she had tried to quit drinking for the first time in a decade.

I suppose having a relative with epilepsy is sorta cruise control for this.

There was a guy in middle school who would uncontrollably shake his leg when he was horny. Rather like a dog when you find that spot on their back that makes them kick their legs. There were two fake lesbos who would make out together on the bus during field trips to get attention, and he would see them and start shaking like crazy, teeth chattering and everything. Was about 14 or so at the time. Weirdest thing I ever saw. I think he outgrew it eventually.

Oddly, he was also utterly immune to being surprised. Jump scares, loud noises, whatever, he had zero reaction to it. Wouldn't even blink or flinch if you threw a punch at him. Pity horror games weren't a thing in the late 90's, he'd have made a very unique sort of Youtube letsplayer.

He actually had a name for the condition, but I don't really remember it. I unironically think it was called something like Gary Busey syndrome, but I'm sure that's not it.

I once did a course on hostage negotiation given by someone who had done that work for over 15 years. He said the truth is almost violence, so brutal is the truth.

Though with the example you gave, it sounds like you did everyone a favor, including the instructor and kid.

FFS, I'd have kept real good tabs on that dude. He seems like fucking Dexter and Buffalo Bill merged. You could make some good money giving interviews about him when they eventually catch this motherfucker wearing women's skin.

This rings true. In fact, I have had to tell ppl in positions of knowledge/authority more than once in my life to stop beating around the bush and state facts, as that is what I need to hear. They have, to a man, been incredibly uncomfortable with it.
Example, the neurosurgeon who had to tell me a family member's brain was effectively permanently deleted after a stroke - I knew it, he knew it, but he could hardly stand to just say it, even when I told him as gently as I knew how that I needed to hear it plainly.

I've gotten fired for it once, lol. The guy who started the company asked me if he should try skateboarding and I told him "no, it's not worth the risk to start now." The guy was past 60 and had difficulty joining a teams meeting,

I got fired for nebulous reasons 3 weeks later, but I knew it was because I didn't kiss his ass and lie to him. I saw the look in his eyes after I said it. And I had already surmised that there must be a reason everyone else was tiptoeing around him all the time. No regrets.

But if I wasn't already preparing my way out, I would have been more tactful.

I work in a hospital, and I saw a notoriously-histrionic nurse have what I would describe as a full-blown panic attack when she was tasked with caring for a Covid-positive patient during the height of the coof.

She was literally shaking rn.

Shaking like a wet dog that just climbed out of a river.

Shaking like she was dancing The Lindy Hop while wearing her mask, faceshield, and gloves that went up to her elbows.

It was so ridiculous, that the nurse manager basically told her to go home, get her shit together, and don't ever come back if she couldn't.

Yeah black peepo really don't like dogs. I take care of a relative's all-black german shepherd service dogs (100+ lbs each) from time to time. Those are always fun walks.
