Psychology of People Who HATE CROWDS | Psychology Facts

Описание: If you avoid crowded places, this video explains why—and it's not because you're antisocial.

For some people, crowds aren't just uncomfortable. They're psychologically overwhelming. Your brain processes up to five times more sensory data per second than the average person. You pick up on micro-expressions others miss. You remember conversations nobody else recalls. And your nervous system treats a crowded party the same way it treats genuine danger.

This video breaks down the neuroscience and psychology behind why crowded environments feel so draining—and why your preference for solitude isn't a flaw. It's how your nervous system was designed.
