Taking up Space Anxiety

Today was my 11th class and I’ve been mostly go to the classic or define classes which I’ve been loving. There is one thing though that I’m struggling with which is feeling like I’m in other peoples’ personal space and taking up too much space. I want to preface I deal with this often in crowded public settings like the grocery store or public transit but it’s becoming a struggle for me in pure barre because I’m also actively working out or at least trying to.

Todays class was full and I was one of the last people to sit down at a spot so I ended up with the front right corner which kind of boxed me in. I felt like such a nuisance and in others personal space. I couldn’t do full range of motion for most movements at the bar or during abs because I was boxed in. I was feeling so self conscious and anxious that the people next to me were annoyed with me the whole time. I’m going to get there earlier from now on so that doesn’t happen again but I’m having a hard time overcoming this awful feeling of taking up space. I’m just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this before.
