That works for humans too.
I’ve had to break that loop when I am having a bad asthma attack by going away from those that freak out and worry, I need to concentrate on my breathing and getting it under control - and in that case a late night trip to the open duty pharmacy - and people feeding back panic and stress do not help.
It might sound odd to walk off on people if you’re having trouble breathing, again you think ‘what if I collapse?’ but as stress makes it worse, it’s usually a better call.
