Hello,
Do large crowds trigger u like say for example festivals.
They trigger me so bad being around too many people I hate it.
Can u tolerate crowds?

Even with alcohol it’s terrible but it takes a slight edge off

I too cannot tolerate crowds, but unlike crowds with fewer people, larger crowds tend to ignore my presence – and it makes me feel safer.

I remember going to community college and having a hard time not getting anxious in the larger auditorium classes. I would end up smoking pot before I went, thinking it would help. It only added to the problem, I couldn’t write notes anymore and although I understood each lecture, I had trouble recalling the details and dates of what I had heard.
I think I was already in the prodromal phase, but at the time I didn’t understand.

Crowds are hell on earth, I can tolerate them like I can tolerate pain.

I got the same. I am afraid without alcohol. But I manage to behave fairly normal without alcohol. Only do not find it cozy then.
I couldn’t go to a festival. Too many moving parts there lol. But I can go into town which can be quite crowded.
My nightmare scenario is around 10 people. Not enough to be anonymous and I feel pressure to be social.
I’m terrified of crowds. I just feel like they are going to trample me.
I don’t think crowds or alone matter when i’m paranoid it is there. but I prefer one on one.
Yeah, it can make school really unbearable sometimes
They didn’t use to, crowds used to make me feel safe. Then after tactile hallucinations & ptsd I couldn’t stand anyone being in close proximity to me so now crowds are a huge issue and cause all kinds of problems for me. Living in the city in college was hellish. I am really so much better in the quiet suburbs.
Cities and crowds trigger me.
Yeah the quieter suburbs suit me better.
I definitely cannot handle crowds either. I freak out
It really depends, but generally large crowds cause me quite a lot of anxiety. Though I think I’ve gotten a little used to it.
Large crowds don’t trigger me, but i hate them, just want to smack everyone when i get in a crowd, so I never go in crowds or large events
Sometimes they do, depends of how my day is going, there are these days that I just feel so insecure and anxious… but if I’m with friends or drunk it may get a lot of fun
