Anxiety-Inside Out 2 Fanart

The catharsis I felt watching this movie was enormous!

When I found out that the newest emotion in Inside Out 2 would be Anxiety, I immediately thought I was going to hate her. After all, I had an anxiety attack a while ago and it was a terrible experience!

However, one scene in the film changed everything for me. After realizing that what she was doing was more harmful than beneficial to Riley, Anxiety turned to Joy and apologized, saying that she never meant to harm the girl, but rather to protect her. At that moment it was as if my own anxiety was apologizing for making me suffer that time. And then, mentally, I forgave it.

Among my sense of self the forgiveness is like a tool for overcoming, so forgiving anxiety is like overcoming that difficult moment I had years ago.

Anyway, the character Anxiety became very dear to me in the end. I simply loved this film; very touching.
