People feel stressed in crowded places because their brain thinks it’s in danger. Imagine you're playing hide and seek, and suddenly everyone shows up, that's like being in a crowd! Your brain gets confused and sends out signals to make your heart beat faster, like when you’re scared or excited.
Examples
- Getting stuck between two people on a crowded bus and feeling your heart race.
- Feeling anxious in a packed classroom before an exam.
- Being jostled at the grocery store and reacting like you're being chased.
