Do you like to be in crowds?

I have social phobia….therefore I don’t like to hang out in crowds. But if I was normal I wouldn’t mind.

I don’t mind crowds as long as I’m not talking to people.

Crowds are overwhelming and distressing for me. I take a PRN.

Even when my symptoms are not so bad, i still don’t like crowds.

Ever since diagnosis I don’t really like big crowds. If it’s just walking through it , not that bad. But if there is people I know and I need to socialize, I wanna just run away.

last crowd I was in was smashing pumpkins concert in 18. scared me to death because I got seperated from my nephews and brother at the end and they had to text me to find me.

No, but I can cope. Unless I’m in a PTSD-mood, then I can’t.

I try to avoid crowds, if at all possible, gives me anxiety.

I haven’t been in a crowd for awhile. I’ve been in audiences and they were’t too bad. After the plays we had to walk through crowds to get to our car. Aside from some people getting in my way it wasn’t too bad.

No, it’s stressful. I have claustrophobia if it’s like concert packed with people. Less dense crowds is better.

I have a very hard time with crowds, unsettling and jangling to my nerves, disrupting my inner peace and balance. There’s too much discordant energy in masses of people. I much prefer the peace and quiet of my home or relaxing piano music.

I can cope for up to ten hours, but I pay for it by being non-functional the next day.
