How do you feel about crowds? What's the biggest crowd you've ever been in? Does your body feel different when you're surrounded by people as opposed to standing in the open? Have you ever felt connected to a crowd? What do crowds make you think of? Does a crowd feel different if it's outside vs inside, standing still vs moving? Are you afraid of crowds, if so, why? Have you ever felt empowered in a crowd? Do you like feeling physically close to other people? Does being in a crowd change your perception of strangers?

I don't love crowds, especially in today's climate. Large crowds give me bad anxiety making me feel stifled, tiny, and isolated. Being in crowds at concerts/performances/events where we are all there for one purpose can be really awesome and empowering. I think it's in the fact that we are all relatively small individually but all of us together we can become this large, united mass. Although I don't like them initially, I usually end up having a good time in crowds and the preconceived anticipation of people being awful is debunked.
