I don't know if it's irrational, and I would never say this before, but I think I'm a little bit agoraphobic when I'm in huge crowds of people. I mean, it's claustrophobic, probably - small spaces and large groups of people, anxiety rises for me.
我不知道这是不是不理智，我以前也不会这么说，但我觉得我在一大群人面前有点恐旷症。我的意思是，这可能是幽闭恐惧症——狭小的空间和一大群人，让我感到焦虑。
