i believe that i am a sufferer from this phobia as well. i had just recently attended a large dance recital in a huge auditorum. i was placed in the middle of the aud in the middle of a row. the whole first half of the show i was so distracted i couldnt even remember it. i was sweating uncontrollably I was fighting back throwing up while i was fighting off tears. I was also overcome with anger for no reason and when intermission came i stepped outside and decided not to go back in. i ended up crying and dry heaving ouside the performing arts center, not a good time. not i will avoid these situations.

i am having the same problem of crowd fear, i really feel nervous, i avoid going in parties, meetings, weddings, and if i go there i feel my self so much nervous even from the people i know. I feel that people are staring at me and they will laugh at me seeing me nervous, and it makes me more nervous. The symptoms are palpitation, dry throat, and a bit weakness or shivering. I am really tired of this feeling and try so hard to overcome but i often fail in trying to do so. Please if there are some medicines beside the psychological treatment.???

I am 33 yrs old, and have been freaking out in crowds for years. I’m not sure if I’m actually enochlophobic since it isn’t fear that I feel (at least, I don’t think it is), it’s more of a disgust. I get all the symptoms associated with this plus I break out in hives. I feel like I’m surrounded by nasty slimy crawly things (maybe roaches), and I can’t get away fast enough. I feel like I’m going to throw up. If I happen to be with someone and they are speaking to me, I just keep looking around saying “What?” alot, I sweat profusely, and scratch my hives, I have no idea what they are saying. It also gets extremely difficult to breathe… But, I’m NOT scared of dying, PREFER to be ‘insignificant’, and really couldn’t care less whether I get lost or not. I also never had a bad experience in a crowd before (except for the freakouts). I’m wondering if that still classifies as enochlophobia…?

I,m 25 years old. I was working in a school as computer Technician.
I was suffering from hiats hernia. I feel difficul to breathe in crowded people. specially in indoor halls. like staff meeting,while praying and travelling in speed launch. I feel that i was not getting enough oxygen to breathe. If i was in out door then i have no problem, even though crowd is big arround me.

hi, the situation for me is sometimes so bad. I once went out for my friends birthday and the size of the crowd made me almost physically pass out. I had to leave, and it took me some time to recover. I get so anxious in crowds and it is making me miserable. I am thinking of visiting my doctor, as i don’t know what else to do, i cant even stand friends and family one on one standing too close to me. I hate how this is making me feel, it’s getting to the point i don’t even like a hug from people.

I am surprisingly the opposite of you in this particular phobia. If I go to the mall, my palms sweat, my eyes jerk around nervously looking at everything and my heart palpitates at an uncomfortable rate. But I am perfectly fine with public speaking. I can get up in front of a group and speak. I’m nervous, sure, but not in the least debilitated. As long as I am separated from the crowd and have my back to a wall (or someone I trust) I’m fine. It’s not until I’m in the crowd with movement all around that I have trouble. Is it possible that I have a different phobia than enochlophobia?

in you personal story you mention that you panicked once you had to give a presentation in class.

seems like you and albert einstein might have Glossophobia (fear of public speaking) instead of Ecochlophobia?

I get extremely uncomfortable around crowds, I do fine in movie theaters because everyone is quiet and seated. but at parts its difficult to go to sporting events, and i have to isolate myself at parties or when hanging out with a big group of people.

Usually if i am stuck in a crowd i start to get extremely nervous and quiet, breathing starts to get difficult, i become very stiff, and sometimes i even get combative. If my friends touch me or other people touch me i tend to snap at them and once I’ve even hit a friend of mine.

after i get out of a crowd, i feel stressed out the whole day and tend to be snappy, defensive or make sharp remarks to whoever I’m with. My friends usually don’t understand how i can act this way when we are out together having fun which causes a lot of them to get annoyed/offended at how i am acting.
