I was there with my friends and I was beyond angry. I understand wanting share your story- I get it, but the emotional dumpagebis too fucking much and people NEED TO FUCKING STOP before they ruin it for others. She was being selfish and I’m even more angry that her mom didn’t say anything and just let the daughter unleash. He’s NOT A FUCKING THERAPIST…. I’m just sad that happened ☹️

Sorry it took me so long to answer this! The post I made got way more notes than I thought it would and I’ve been figuring out that what I typed in the heat of the moment, if you will, doesn’t always reflect exactly what i was trying to say. I really don’t think the girl was trying to be selfish. She got overwhelmed,I’m sure, in the face of meeting someone so important to her. And not everyone is on social media (ie Tumblr) so not everyone has heard the stories of how much those types of autographs effect Jared. Why her mom didn’t try and stop her before she got really worked up i don’t know, not really my place. Overall, I’m just worried and upset at the frequency that this happens, and I wish people would take a look at how they approach the cast. The relationship the fans and the cast has fosters the idea that we are closer to them than we actually are. And while some fans do actually know the cast, and the cast is always happy to meet new fans and talk to them, we don’t actually know them. We see and know what they let us, which is amazing. But also, they don’t know us. At all really. Especially a conventions, because there are just so many fans. And for people with emotional stories like the girl’s that they wish to share, they really just need to look at who they are sharing them with. It’s not a close friend, it’s actually not someone you know well and they probably don’t know who you are. They cannot go off and take 10,20,30 minutes after you tell them a story to process it and bounce back. They have 5, maybe 10 minutes if they push it. Which also creates less time for the other fans. Ugh its all just a little frustrating to me that this keeps happening. But I hope the rest of the convention was good for you and I’m glad to hear from someone who witnessed the interaction also!
