Are you guys good with large crowds? I don't like being around a lot of people due to my social anxiety, but I have tried to overcome my fears in regards to that. And I have overcome it some, but could do better. Anyway, this isn't about me. Are you good with crowds? If not, how do you deal with them?

When I was a young man, I was very shy and unconfident with the crowds. However with research and practice on the measures to overcome the dear of the crowd has really improved my confidence Infront of the crowd.

I am okay with crowd I can communicate freely if I have something to communicate about I can't flow receive and pass information even I can keep a conversation Afloat no point in essence is I can flow with a group of people or one person at a time.
I suffer from social anxiety so being in crowds or even really busy places can set my anxiety off and it makes me stressed and causes me to get migraines.
Due to this, I do all I can to avoid crowds and tend to head out when I know it is going to be quieter so it is easier on me.

Sure it's about you, it's your topic/question. 🙂 I'm ok with crowds, but.. in small doses. You know what I mean? Like maybe for an hour or two, but then I start feeling kinda overwhelmed and all I want to do is get back home where it's quiet.
It's not quite "social anxiety" .. more like social annoyance and it's really nobody's fault. I'm super-nice to people but when an event or social gathering just goes on and on and on 🙄 you'll find me looking for the exit or at least a place to escape. Somewhere quiet.
Well, it actually depends on the kind of crowd we are talking about because there are some crowd I am comfortable being in and there are crowds that I would never find myself in.
Take for instance, if there is something like a protest or demonstration, there is no way I'm going to get myself in such crowd because I will start hyperventilating immediately which is very dangerous for me.

Yesterday I went to the fair in my town with my girlfriend, and it was crowded, I am one of those people who gets very overwhelmed if everything is full of people, I am a very extroverted person, but, large crowds are not my place, I prefer to be in good company but without there being an agglomeration of people.
I love being in a place which is peaceful and quiet. I hate crowded places. Those places choke out the oxygen in me. I've never stayed in a crowd. I avoid them like a plague. It's not healthy being in a crowd.
I don't think I have social anxiety but I am also not very comfortable when I am in the crowd. That's why I usually avoid going into the crowd. I like watching football and cricket but I don't go to the stadium to watch matches, I watch from home. I like to watch artists performing, but since I don't like crowd I also don't go to concerts. I don't like to attend public festivals.
Yeah, that's very correct. There is a way a crowd is going to be that is going to make it very uncomfortable for someone who is even an extrovert like me to be in. I don't always like being in places that stresses me mentally and that is the reason why I try as much as possible to avoid being in such kind of crowd that will wear me out.
The last time I was in a crowd, I was nearly suffocated by the bad smell of those with body odour. This is what deters me from going into the crowd. I don't know who will have offensive body odour that will bump into me.
Whenever it is very uncomfortable for you to associate with crowd because of your social anxiety issues, it is always going to be in your best interest to deassociate yourself from anything that is going to take you in such a crowded places. My mother used to suffer from social anxiety and that is the reason why she hardly go to the shopping mall for anything.
I don't feel comfortable around crowds. I want to be in small groups, especially when we have a goal that we are trying to achieve. Going with the small crowd is key to achieving a lot, and that is one thing that I have come to like about small crowds instead of being in a large crowd.
There is always a tendency that a crowd might become violent. This is one of the reason why I try as much as possible to know the reason why people are gathering in crowd so that I will understand if there is a possibility of that crowd turning violent which might end up being detrimental to me.
A small group of people is very cossy and comfortable to be in. I might even know everyone in the small group which makes them not to be strangers to me. There is nothing like small crowd in my eyes, they are all the same.
This is something that is always going to be very common in a crowd of people because there are some people who are very bad when it comes to keeping a good hygiene. This is the reason why they will always be smelling so bad without even thinking about how it is affecting those that are close to them.
I don't like being in crowds but sometimes I make an exception. Sometimes they make me nervous and sometimes I'm calm and placid. I prefer to be in the peace and the quiet of my home away from loads and loads of people. My wife is the same, she doesn't like being in crowded places. It triggers her anxiety really bad.
Anyone who is battling with social anxiety is always going to find it very difficult being in crowded places because the things that are happening there is going to be affecting that person in a very drastic way. His or her comfortability is going to be the last thing that is guaranteed in that kind of situation.
