I recently started rewatching the cartoon, I liked as preteen, Sabrina: The animated series. I relate to her needing to hide her secret life from her schoolmates, like I still don't like to share my interests with other people (even those, I consider friends). I also relate to the fear of rejection, witch (yay stupid puns) keeps me from disclosing my diagnosis to most people.
