((okay… how do I explain it to my family that I don’t want to see Infinity War because I have anxiety and ASD, the latter which makes it tough for me to separate movies from reality on an emotional level, and I’d really rather not have an anxiety attack in the middle of a theatre or be dropped into a month-long depression because fictional characters died, even though I know that logically it’s not real?
What has been said by my step-mom: “You need to develop coping mechanisms”, “You can just get over anxiety”, “It’s not real! [the movie]”
