Don’t you hate when you go out in public and the public has the nerve to be there too?
I’m not going to lie, I’m that person that pretty much avoids things during the regular season. For example, I never, ever go to the beach in the summer because I really cannot stand the crowds.
And when it comes to Mystic, I tend to only go in the off season and in the middle of a cold winter night so I can enjoy places I enjoy in peace.
It’s not really that I don’t like people. The problem is I get overstimulated and uncomfortable when I am in loud, crowded places.
I am so anti-crowds, the one and only time I went to Salem, Massachusetts was in late November after all the Halloween lovers are long gone. I don’t think I’d survive if I went when the streets are so crowded you’re elbow to elbow with people.
I’m way too easily over stimulated to be in crowded places. I still get to experience stuff, I just have to do it on my own terms.
