Today I wanna talk about crowds as I would say it is one of my weaknesses as it really can make me feel uncomfortable very quickly. First I will talk about what happens to me when I am in crowds as there are 2 types for me.. 2nd I want to tell how I can beat it to a certain extent.
Type 1 indoor
This type is probably the worst thing you can do to me, place me in a room full of people that is all talking and the room is too tiny for us to be there. I have tried it a few times over the years and every time I start feeling nausea like if I have taking a rollercoaster one time to many afterwards I gets a bit of headache and then I start not being able to handle myself or focus on what I am supposed to do in the room and if too long I have lost all my energy. The longest I have stayed was during a meal. I recently tried it when I was at Le Mans when we was going to eat lunch inside a tent but there was too many people. I also tried to see if I could handle myself inside a mall on Black Friday but got sick in less than 15mins even I knew my goals before entering.
Type 2 outdoor
This type on the other hand in no big deal for me so as long there is air for me to breath I am alright. Of course I still prefer less people compared to many but I can handle it.
How to beat it?
It is very easy for me to beat it these days as now I know why I am getting sick so I can just go outside most of the times, but if I cannot do that I can pick up my noise cancelling headphones and play some music in my ears so I can focus on what I should do instead of becoming messed up. Of course that prevents people for interacting with me but it is either that or I am leaving.
