Fair enough. I’m not at all sure that’s true—certainly when I’m experiencing recalled trauma I would far prefer that people sit quietly with me than that they politely leave, but of course one data point isn’t especially useful in this case—but certainly if it is true the rest follows. Do you have any data to support that?
It’s likely to be worse than leaving them politely. Whether it’s worse than just getting up and leaving depends on the person and situation.

No data, just introspection and personal observation. Maybe it’s a variation in people’s preferences.
