He was looking at us like, \u2018Are you guys crying?!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was just completely bittersweet. It\u2019s been 10 years.

And by myself too. I think I was super protective of who I was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSadie admitted that she struggled to reconcile her frustrations with recognising that she&#8217;s in a fortunate position in life.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;When things were hard, when there would be certain pressures, or I\u2019d be overwhelmed, I felt like I couldn\u2019t talk about it because it was such an amazing thing that was happening.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Sometimes you don\u2019t feel like you can have any complaints or struggles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sadie-sink-feels-bittersweet-stranger-things-1446840.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 July 2026 Sadie Sink has &#8220;bittersweet&#8221; feelings about the end of Stranger Things.
