Fears: Crowds

This is the second page of my “fears” themed notebook. Contrary to my first post on this theme, this fear is a more personal one. I tend to be very introverted in large crowds. I think this is in response to the fact that I feel very unimportant in overly-large groups; as if no one would notice if I were there at all. I suppose this is a self-image issue.

Large crowds also scare me because the collective mind can often be very stupid, causing violence and hysteria in situations that wouldn’t normally merit it. Plus, people tend to feel more anonymous in large groups, making them act in unusual and often brazen ways.
