I can't say I relate 100% but I do a little. I only go to the movies every 2-3 years. When people would ask me to go to the movies I'd say "I don't want to go sit in a huge dark room with a bunch of strangers!" You can probably imagine the strange looks I got. But people at least pretended to respect my wishes and didn't try and force the issue. It's very rare I can sit through an entire movie, so I listen to my music through earbuds....I draw, crochet, research stuff on my phone and just sit there with them while they watch. If something I'm watching is triggering for me, we turn it off. My family often notices I'm being triggered before I do and they are the ines to voluntarily turn it off. I don't think you are obligated to sit through something that makes you feel bad and screw anyone who thinks otherwise. There are many things in life we MUST do regardless of how it makes us feel....watching a movie should never to counted amongst the MUST DO's.
