Megaplex was amazing, I met lots of wonderful people I'd only ever met online. While an exhausting and somewhat mentally and emotionally taxing I found the con to be a huge sucess.

As many of you might already be aware, I suffer from Social anxiety. this is somewhat new I started to have anxiety attacks when I was looking for jobs to apply to way back when I was still in retail hell and living with my parents. They got so bad i couldn't even look at job listings for fear of how much of a disappointment I would be. Eventually this translated into social gatherings where i actively feared meeting new people because of that same anxiety.

When I lived with the parents this reaction was never an option for me. I was routinely slapped into social interaction often against my will and forced to deal with it, so i dealt with it without a second thought. The moment i failed at a job, was told I was incompetent and then all other wonderful things about my work ethic that no-one had bothered to tell me while I was working at said place, i was handed a choice. I could let that awful experience define me or I could rise above it and get another job. i tried to rise above it, I tried to not let thier words hurt but in the end, I succumbed to the criticism of two men I'd hardly known for a month. It shaped and effected me so badly and so deeply it now translates into fear of social failure.

At the Con people were welcoming, accepting, caring and even interested in my projects I felt special and important instead of hated and despised. I fake being a socialite very well on the stream but in person I am often very much a meek little thing untill I've been around the crowd. To all of you that attended megaplex and made it such a worthwhile visit. thank you so very much.
