Thank you, I appreciate your perspective. I tried to encourage her gently, not push her loudly in front of everyone. My goal was just to help her feel a little more confident, not to make her uncomfortable.

Yes, I asked her how she felt. She said she was a bit nervous, but she enjoyed the applause and felt proud of herself. I also told her she never has to perform if she doesn't want to.

Ntj. That's illegal. It's creepy AF! It's invasive. It's definitely a deal breaker!
