Do you ever do ‘fun’ things because you think they’re “normal” or socially expected of you? Even though you struggle to do them or really hate them? (I’m not talking about taxes or the dishes here 🤪) I’m talking about going out, hobbies, social stuff.⠀ ⠀ I’m having a “normal people” date with my partner tonight! We’re going to the movies. (To see toy story 4😅)⠀ ⠀ A few years ago I realized that I didn’t like going to the cinema because it’s too loud and movies are difficult for me to watch. ⠀ A lot of story is covered in very little time and that’s just very tiresome to process most of the time. ⠀ Also, they’re all in 3d (if not more D’s) and that just startles me and makes me nauseated 😅⠀ ⠀ I did, however, feel genuinely excited about toy story 4. ⠀ So I’m gonna try going to a cinema again.. I’m a little nervous. ⠀ And also feel a little silly that I’ve never been able to take my partner out to a cinema before.. or to a restaurant.. ⠀ These are all still internalized ableist expectations I put on myself that I hope to some day let go. ⠀ I am a great partner even if I don’t like going to the movies or a restaurant. ⠀ And if there’s people or partners disagreeing with me over something so trivial as that then they’re probably not the right people for me anyway :) ⠀ ⠀
