Do you like crowded places?
I don’t mind crowded places sometimes. I like them when there’s a good atmosphere, like at a market or festival. But I don’t enjoy being cramped for a long time, so I usually avoid very crowded shops.
I’m fairly ambivalent — I enjoy crowds when there’s energy and a purpose, for example at a concert or a weekend market, because it feels lively. But I find very dense crowds draining and a bit claustrophobic, so I avoid them for shopping or long journeys if I can.
