The food poisoning and extremely poor sleep was bad enough to deal with, but the biggest letdown was actually trying to see my friends. A *lot* of the friends I was excited to see and spend time with were extremely flakey and non-responsive. It felt like I was left behind more often than not.
When you spend so much money and effort to go to a convention with the sole intention of wanting to spend time with people you care about... only for a lot of those people to often leave you on read, avoid hanging out, and exclude you from their little group at the Con? It hurts.
One surefire way to make sure I *never* listen to a DJ perform ever again is when they put a sudden ear-piercing scream at the beginning of their set as a high-volume jumpscare. Not only did it literally hurt my ears, it spiked my anxiety to 100 immediately, and is an accessibility issue for others.
I'm very thankful for the close friends that stuck with me through the Con and made an effort to try to spend time with me, my love for them is stronger than ever. But this FWA really made me reconsider how much effort I'm gonna pour into other friendships if it's always going to be one-sided.
While it's always good to get to see friends in person, enjoy the raves, and all the entertainment a con has to offer... I think I'm gonna be taking a long break before I consider going back to another convention. FWA had it's good moments, but it was filled with more disappointment than enjoyment.
