Fear and Loathing in Every City
Added 2025-01-24 13:53:18 +0000 UTCMy boyfriend hates being in crowded places, and every public place with more than 3 people in it is too crowded. He starts taking psychic damage immediately. He doesn't actually start monologuing about how much he hates it there, though, he just starts to silently suffer. That is not much better.

Everything was going great until all the other people showed up!

2025-01-24 14:40:44 +0000 UTCI feel the same way! If there's some distance between me and the crowds, it's fine, but if I'm too close, it feels like drowning in too many people.

2025-01-24 14:35:03 +0000 UTCIt's the din of a lot of people talking at once that drives me batty. My mind wants to try and sort it out into individual conversations. I have to actually concentrate on ignoring everything but what's going on in my immediate vicinity and that's just mentally exhausting.
