I know there are a lot of reasons conflict avoidance transfers over to a person's entire existence but I mourn the moment we decided as a society that simple basic normal human interaction was equivalent to a conflict.

People you were planning to see irl will be mildly disappointed but not angry and violent if you have to back out of your engagement, I promise. Normalize that, please.

I think it's a case where people have Big Feelings about stuff like this, and they see that as a valid excuse to just sort of chicken out. Being neurodivgent, or introverted, or anxious doesn't negate your personal responsibilities when you've voluntarily made a commitment like that. If you can't do it, the decent thing to do is notify whoever you've promised your participated to, apologize and try not to do that again. Maybe by recognizing that these kinds of fandom events just aren't for you, or that you're not in a good place to join in right now, and by not fooling yourself into wish fulfillment stuff where you say you'll be there and hope that by saying it aloud it'll magically come true.

But a lot of people don't like to hear that, and it upsets them. First hand experience.
