The hives person wasn't in control of how their body would respond to the excitement, though. Your argument is invalid. I understand berating someone if they, like, stopped eating or going outside or something because they're in control of that, but hives can just be the body's response to stress and the person isn't in any control over that. =/

lol yes, this also. I wasn't like, 'You know what would be fun?!'

(different anon)

I'd argue that they have control of the stress by "sweating the small stuff" and indirectly brought them on. You have control over calming down and relaxing. You have control over what you choose to stress over about. They chose to stress out over the end of Harry Potter (which is ridiculous because it's been over technically for 3 years now) to the point of having a minor allergic reaction. Not a huge deal, but I daresay most people don't dwell on such trivial things. If it was indeed because of a fear of growing up and Harry Potter triggered it, then I will feel a little more sympathy. Only a little because I fear how they'll react when they actual have to grow old and deal with a mid-life crisis and not the end of their teens. We call that being a "drama queen."

Eh, I only think "drama queen" applies to someone who broadcasts their stresses and makes a big deal of it publically. It seems like the hives person did the opposite: internalizing their emotion so much that their body responded with hives, and shared it with us because they found it entertaining and knew that they were overreacting. It didn't seem like the cry for attention that is usually associated with drama queens.

"You have control over calming down and relaxing. You have control over what you choose to stress over about."

Unrelated to HP for the most part but speaking as someone with pretty bad anxiety issues, it's not always this easy. Just because the rational part of one's brain is going, 'wow in the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal, I shouldn't be stressing this much' doesn't mean that part is in control. Implying that a person should just 'lol get over it and calm down' is honestly not a fair statement to make, especially not knowing that person's history in the slightest. Just sayin'.

On top of what other people said about it not always being that easy, it also sounds like really, they were stressing about the end of Harry Potter as it related to the bigger general stress of the end of childhood. Which, you know, IS stressful.

smh, if someone is so 'stressed' from seeing a movie they get hives, they need help. That is not normal, sorry. No matter how it's spun, they have issues.

Agree to disagree, I suppose.
