response to knic28: have you every heard about being "highly sensitive" or a "highly sensitive person"? That's something that can come along with being introverted. Maybe you are (like me) (a bit more) sensitive than other people towards your environment and overwhelmed by large crowds because that just how the brain of a HSP works...I'm not an expert on this topic, maybe looking at the article on wikipedia on this topic will help :)
