A student pilot reported experiencing several events during a flight training session that they believe were unsatisfactory and unsafe on the part of their flight instructor.

Narrative

I am reporting on my experience with instructor A. We took off out of ZZZ and the incident happened somewhere between XA:15 and XA:30. We left out the airspace and we made our way towards a visual waypoint where there are fields nearby so that we could do eights on pylons. When we were nearing the area; instructor A took controls of the aircraft and told me that he was going to set up for the first maneuver and then he would pass the controls to me after he finished that maneuver so that I could attempt the maneuver. When he began setting up for the maneuver; I noticed that there was a plane that was uncomfortably close to us that was also doing ground reference maneuvers; and I told instructor A. that the proximity made me feel uncomfortable. He made a call out on the radio (I believe was the practice area frequency we were on) to let the other aircraft know what we were doing and we did not receive any call back. I told him that the lack of communication from the other aircraft made me feel unsafe and his response was to ridicule me and tell me that pilots need to learn how to be in dangerous and risky situations and that he was going to stay in the area on principle so that I could learn to sit in feeling scared. I continued to advocate for my position and said that because I was feeling unsafe that should be reason enough to leave the area and he laughed at me and ridiculed me further. He said it wasn't my choice and he wasn't moving.It was then that the other aircraft turned towards us and passed over us about 300 feet above per the MFD (Multi-function Flight Display). They were so close that I prepared for a collision. The other aircraft called us and said that they just saw us and that they had the area because they were on a check ride and they needed us to vacate. Instructor A. responded and said that we would leave. He then flew off in a straight line towards another visual waypoint and ridiculed me the entire time. I told him that it was a pilot's job to avoid dangerous situations; and he told me that I needed to get used to being in dangerous situations and I needed to take more risks; and that was his way of teaching me a valuable lesson. I felt incredibly scared and unsafe with him next to me. He still had the controls at this point and I told him that I wanted to go home and I flew as home and landed at ZZZ.When we were on the ground; He brought me into a room and shut the door and told me not to tell anybody what was going on because he wanted to keep it between us. He then entered into a 45 minute argument with me where he claimed that because he was the instructor and I was the student; he got to decide all situations that we were in and I did not have a say. He said it didn't matter if I thought that we were in a dangerous situation or not because he was using it to teach me a lesson. He said if he's in control of the aircraft; It doesn't matter to him if I feel scared or unsafe. I told him that pilots; regardless of being student and instructor; are partners when it comes to each others safety. I told him that my only goals for this conversation were to teach him how to communicate with me and respect my position in terms of my safety minimums and respect my ability to decide what situations I'm put in for my own safety. He refused. I also stated that I knew if any third party knew what happened; it would be so clear that I was right and his behavior was unsafe. I then told him that what we experienced was technically considered a near miss collision per the FAA; and he told me to be careful who I say that to and then immediately changed his story and tried to say that we were never in any danger and none of that ever happened the way I remember and that we were safe the entire time. I stood my ground and said that I knew that it happened.
