      Don’t know how it is for OP, but just being in a crowd like that would drain me instantly even if I don’t need to interact with anyone there.

      I have a theory that perfect chaos is perfect equilibrium.

      In absolute chaos everything is the same because everything is perfectly equally possible.

      So absolute chaos is really the same as absolute stillness.

      It makes sense.

      Full circle.

      Aumm.

    Worse situation: being trapped at a family gathering in a rural relative’s compound that you are socially obliged to attend without any friend or independent mode of transport. Also, you’re expected to serve food to and clean up after creepy uncles who would shamelessly harass you in public.

    I think I’d actually prefer crowds like that. There are so many people that you become insignificant and barely draw any attention.

    Seeing this and reading the caption sent a bead of sweat running down my spine almost instantly.

    Eh, it’s not the social battery at this point that is the issue. Even if the battery were good, the people all meandering unpredictably and too slowly would be frustrating AF.

    I just do as my ma would do. Find path and move through. If someone gets in your way “Excuse me.” Didn’t move? Say it louder and a little more rude. When they move and give you a look, just go. Don’t stop. What are they gonna chase you? That’s weird. Fuck em.

    Make em move till you are outta that shit.

    This is me trying to find a nice place to watch the fireworks in Montreal then realize 10 minutes before it starts that I’ll have to go through that crowd when it’s over, so I just turn around and go back home pre-emptively.
