I was curious to know how you guys react to a typical crowd of, let's say, 30 or more people? Would you freak out because there are too many people, or are you able to cope with them?

Crowds can be a pain sometimes for me. Especially when you walk downtown with so many unfamiliar faces. It kind of feels like you lose your individuality among the mass of people around. It's scary sometimes.

BUT, if it's a crowd that has people I know, then I'm pretty much cool with it (especially in malls and in school).

It would be anoyin and the feeling of uneasyness will get to you. I would feel most uncomfortable when its crowded at restaurants. Its difficult for me to completely enjoy my meal when u in a noisy environment and with kids acting like monkeys running around here and there. Therefore if like i m in a mall or convention, where its usually crowded i tend to loose my mood quicky and would want to get what i wanted to do as soon as possible.

I'm ok with crowd though I prefer less crowded places. I usually don't think about it but mostly what and how can I cope with them. If people are totally unfamiliar I try to become aquainted with their faces. Ususally studying their behaviour and expressions. Sometimes I even don't look around and busy myself with what I have to do. I don't bother much about it.

I hate crowds.
I'm okay if they ignore me and shun me..
but when they all look at me and stuff...
I freak

i hate crowds as well... i'd survive if they don't all glare at me, but i'd prefer a more peaceful and less crowded place....

I don't care about crowds. I can feel at easy in very crowded places.
I just don't like to be spoken to... I hate when people notice me ^^'

Crowds are alright. I don't mind them because I'm small so I can get around quickly without squishing anyone. But I hate crowds when I want to do something quiet, like read a book or something. But I have a huge family so I'm used to them. I can read even if it's as loud as a jet taking off.

I can't stand crowds! I get all paranoid. LOL! It's like, you're afraid you'll do something stupid and everyone will laugh at you. And I hate it when people I don't know stare at me. I'm the kind of person that likes to stay in their room and be alone most of the time.

I can't stand crowds or the loud noise that they always make. It makes me uncomfortable. I think that's why I don't like huge amusement parks.

Yup, I can cope with massive crowds. Though I don't often appear in large crowds often. It also depends on what the majority of people in the crowd are... 'coz there are some type of people I just can't stand.

I don't like crowds like when i'm walking downtown i'll just get annoyed by all those people and even in my school 1400 kids are to much ^^

I don't like crowds but I have to cope with them since I'm in a very small high school.

Crowds are annoying so I rudely bust through everyone to get by.

A bit, depending on howmany people are around me!

I don't do crowd. At all. If there was two way, the easy way filled with crowd, the hard way empty...I'm heading the hard way. xD In crowds, I just feel weird.

Years ago I couldn't stand crowds. I became aggressive whenever I was in crowd that moved really slow and was too packed to "escape" from it... that always put me in a foul mood...
But since I moved to Shanghai some years ago I got used to crowds... you really haven't go much of choice here if you want keep your sanity. Thanks to that I also had no problem with the crowds when I was in Tokyo a month ago...

i dont mind crowds. its the lunch time crowds that annoy me specially when where you want to go is past or near the food court area, urgh

hate crowds, its annoying if you aint the type u end up looking like some corner retarded kid

Typically if its a relatively small crowd I might get annoyed but I just kind of ignore it. If its a really large crowd then I do tend to freak out, get really angry or even have a panic attack. Especially if its people I dont know. There's nothing I hate more than being around a bunch of strangers and having to get offensively close. If its people I know, then I can deal with it.

I try do avoid them as much as i can. I feel uneasy when lot of people are surronding me. Every stranger is an enemy to me, so i always want to be on alert.

On the outside, I'd appear to be calm; however, if you were right next to me, carrying on a conversation, I'd most likely be rather irritable, anxious, etc. Mainly, it's the fear of running into people and being hurt. However, if it's with people I know (an amount a little less than thirty, maybe...), I'd be okay, more or less.

I do my best to avoid them, whether they be strangers out in public or my own relatives at big parties or barbecues or whatever. I just never feel comfortable with so many around me and always try for some solitude whenever I can.

cant' stand crowds. I don't feel very comfortable around alot of people.

The only thing bad about crowds is when alot of them notices me or when they start a food fight. No, scratch the foodfight part.
It's actually quite fun. I'm trying to overcome public presentations cuz I know I'm going to face it one day.
