crowds....

I am not claustrophobic or anything, but I wouldnt say being in a crowd is my favorite pastime. I sort of do like it though, because it makes you feel like you are blended in, nobody pays much attention to you. I hate the feeling that everybody is staring at you. Thats bad for me as I am an instrumentalist!!! I dont really mind playing in band as there are other people, but piano is by far the hardest! As long as the crowd is not looking all at me I am fine.

i used to not like it being claustrobhobic before. i still can't go to concerts in close arenas because once i was traumatized with an event where i was almost trampled. crowds in open spaces however bother me less but i have to be where the exit is just nearby. i don't like rowdy crowd and loud noisy groups, i avoid them as much as i can.
