MODERATORS
In general, I adore and like people. Capable of such beautiful things!
I like seeing people smile and interacting with them in order to absorb that light and shine it back. And if none seem to be there, I like to try and get one going.
But I get anxious where there are masses of people present. City streets. Malls. Campuses.
It’s not that I suddenly dislike people. I just get overwhelmed with my adhd and base quirks, too much stimuli and too much of everything going on everywhere.
I love people as individuals for the most part, i.e unless they specifically give a reason not to. Many do give that reason, unfortunately. But the vast majority never do, in my (privileged?) experience, which is amazing and exciting to me.
But I tend to avoid masses of people. Not because I dislike them, but because I dislike the anxiety I gain.
