Associate Expects Me to Breathe

I am a few months into a coverage analyst role at a BB and I am confused by the associates I have worked with. Does anyone else have an issue where their associate expects them to breathe on their own? Do they not know how to manually make me breathe? I am completely triggered and feel disrespected that my associates expect me to be able to breathe on my own. It has completely zero value. My professors and classmates at my prior ivy league undergrad were respectful of my privilege but these associates in banking are completely out of control. Just because they have an MBA, they think they can expect me to breathe on my own.
