In large crowds there's no need to be social, you've come full circle.

Don't know how it is for OP, but just being in a crowd like that would drain me instantly even if I don't need to interact with anyone there.
That's me too. The sheer noise of it all. The heat. The smell. Fuck all of that.

Exactly. Crowded street is easy to deal with than an office party.

I have a theory that perfect chaos is perfect equilibrium.
In absolute chaos everything is the same because everything is perfectly equally possible.
So absolute chaos is really the same as absolute stillness.
It makes sense.
Full circle.
Aumm.
I think I’d actually prefer crowds like that. There are so many people that you become insignificant and barely draw any attention.
Exactly what I was thinking
Worse situation: being trapped at a family gathering in a rural relative's compound that you are socially obliged to attend without any friend or independent mode of transport. Also, you're expected to serve food to and clean up after creepy uncles who would shamelessly harass you in public.
I've abandoned families for less
Let's just assume this statement doesn't include any children in it.
There's bound to be an animal somewhere to go look at or pat.
They don't even know

Lmao!
I stopped going to this one park that host multiple different ethnic food fests throughout the year. Every single one looks like this. They're not fun. It's like an hour plus wait to get to one booth, and they don't even have the prices listed (stupidly overpriced) or the menus visible while you wait.
The whole point of those is to try multiple things, but the format kills that opportunity.
That is true with a lot of things. Same with over tourism - if I am pushed through the Collosseum with hundreds of people then fuck it, the Colosseum is not fun anymore.
As if I'd go to something like that in the first place.
Find a dog! Dogs are the best even when you don’t want to socialize. 🐕
Invested in a flock of honey badgers. Festivals are a breeze now. Got a bit of a wrap sheet, though.
My social battery dies the moment I SEE something like this. I'd just look at that crowd, and nope right on back home.
Horrible place if you need to find someone.
Perfect place when you don’t want to be found.
Pfft, as if I would take my social battery to something like this.
Ohh no i have a lithium ion social battery, take me out of here or i'm gonna spontaneously combust now.
Oooh. Wanna spontaneously combust at the same time?
Are you a cartoon character? Just go right or left????
Just ascend.
I will stand right motherfucking still in the middle of it and shut the fuck up.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
staaahp ;_;
Seeing this and reading the caption sent a bead of sweat running down my spine almost instantly.

irae
Use my superpower — not being noticed.
Trust me, nobody notices anyone or thinks about any of us at all.

More beer?
I'd jump off the nearest bridge, but that's also full of people. 😭
This wouldn't bother me, my social battery only runs low when forced to talk to people. That's why I work in a dark, loud spicy box.
Eh, it’s not the social battery at this point that is the issue. Even if the battery were good, the people all meandering unpredictably and too slowly would be frustrating AF.
I just do as my ma would do. Find path and move through. If someone gets in your way "Excuse me." Didn't move? Say it louder and a little more rude. When they move and give you a look, just go. Don't stop. What are they gonna chase you? That's weird. Fuck em.
Make em move till you are outta that shit.
Just take a huge shit on the floor and they'll make some space
If they die, they die
Oh boooy, Ann, what have you gotten yourself into this time?
Meltdown yay!
