Crowd anxiety is like when you're in a really noisy, busy room and your brain feels overwhelmed. Imagine being at a birthday party where everyone is shouting, music is loud, and there are balloons everywhere, that’s how it feels for some people in big crowds.
Examples
- An adult gets nervous standing in a crowded train station during rush hour.
- A teenager avoids going to concerts because they feel overwhelmed by all the people.
