Folks talking about an upcoming convention remind of my mixed feelings about them. I loved going to them with my parents when I was small. As an adult, I really wanted to love them, and I did have some happy times at them, but I also felt a lot of anxiety about them. I was too socially anxious to do a lot of the social things people do there. Even things like talking to sellers in the vendors' room, or artists in the artists' room made me feel nervous and I tried to stay back from them so they wouldn't think I wanted to talk.

I really think it would be different now, if I'm ever able to go to one.
