This sounds like an issue for your "friends" to work out with a psychologist, not everyone else's problem.

i wrote this a week ago: firework sounds turn into gunshot pops in my head. the things i used to marvel at are now the very things that trigger panic attacks and send tears streaming down my face. it’s almost been four months since the

shooting in Parkland and i still feel on edge in large crowds. i still feel scared every time a balloon pops. when someone claps loudly or slams their hands down on a table. i’ve had enough.

Triggers mine as well. US Army.

Many Americans doesn’t take this into consideration during their celebration, even when signs r posted. When r we going 2 help our neighbors w/ their reaction to fireworks bc of what they went through, and not what gives us satisfaction? We might be in that same position one day.
