2. Do you like crowded place?
It depends on what sort of crowded place you’re referring to. I love being in the crowd where people there share the same interests as I do or at least there’s some people that I know like a concert for example. But I don’t enjoy being around lots of strangers, I’ll start to feel extremely overwhelmed and anxious, and I tend to keep myself to myself because of my social awkwardness. Besides it feels very unpleasant when being pushed and shoved in overcrowded places.
