Sometimes, when there are a lot of people around, like at the mall or on a subway, our brains feel scared even if we don’t know why. It’s kind of like being in a big game where everyone is shouting and moving fast, and you just want to hide. This happens because your brain thinks it might be hard to escape or stay safe.
Examples
- A kid feels nervous at a busy amusement park.
- A person freezes on the subway when too many people are around.
- Someone avoids going to the mall because they get scared of crowds.
