Re: How to deal with almost strangers who dump their problems on your lap?

I am a very direct person so in those sort of situations, I'll take them aside and say something along the lines of "hey, this is probably not the right place for these sort of discussions, we're all here to do X, not talk about Y." If they're getting way too personal then it's "excuse me but I'm not exactly comfortable with knowing X, Y, or Z about your personal life, could you refrain from discussing it around me?"

Like yeah I've been called names before but I do very well in group projects. I think it's important to be direct without being confrontational and to allow them to save face by not calling them out in public. Also even if they're being a jerk, don't isolate them, sometimes teachers don't like it when one person is clearly doing all the work.
