I hate public spaces. ( VENT )

[skyler_st4rz]

I hate public spaces to my core. We had a field trip yesterday at school, and I completely broke down. It was so crowded, and I don't know how anybody else could function. I could barely breathe, and I felt like I was going to puke majority of the day after. I couldn't bring myself to eat and I was on the verge of tears. Everybody kept bumping into me and I was getting increasingly very overstimulated and frustrated. It made me mad how nobody noticed that I was bothered by the situation as well. My other friend was crying from the pressure and closeness, but I was going through it too? I feel selfish, but I just wish my friends noticed my issues as much as they noticed hers sometimes. It makes me feel like my friends don't really know who I am, and that they don't know how to tell when I'm upset even when I'm being obvious with it. Not to mention that when we tried to go to the bathroom to calm down, a teacher told us to go back because she does this everyday at school. This was COMPLETELY different than school, there were about 3 other schools merged into this place. It just bothered me so much and I needed to get this off my chest. sorry for ranting.

@spiros No one really understands you, ml. Maybe your crying friend got attention because she was crying. I am not really good at comforting or giving advice, but I'm just saying the facts here. You are not selfish for wanting to be noticed, alright?
Anyway, there is no need to apologize for wanting to rant.

I hate them, too. I'm like a magnet (I think it's my hair) for loud noise, and bad behaviour. If I go to the toilets to get a break, minutes later a gaggle of screamers walk through the door and destroy any peace I'm hoping for. I'm convinced, I've been knocked over on the escalator more than anyone else in the world. Half the time I'm convincing myself people just can't be bothered to look and the rest of the time I'm convinced people (MEN) target me. The world's gone mad. I want quiet.

@spiros I can relate. I've gotten overwhelmed before in large groups of people and ended up crying. it's like we get overwhelmed from the noise and chaos but yeah.
