This is great! I actually just recently (like in the past few days) realized that my overwhelm in crowds might be a neurospicy symptom (I do have ADHD) and not just me being a diva.
I’m quite well traveled but this month has been my first time being a *tourist* in western Europe vs less crowded places. All of the amazing, unmissable sights are absolutely packed with people, so whenever I go to a popular tourist site I’ll make sure I only do a half day. I’ll spend maybe 3 hours at the site and spend an equal amount of time back at my hostel, doing nothing / recharging. And I also use your tip of taking little sideline breaks every 30 minutes or so!

When I go shopping I always go there one days and time that I know less people are around. Other wise I would break after 5min.
Defo helps!!
