   Why I know that I’m wired differently: I hate crowds. I avoid them when I can. Wherever a crowd goes, time gets wasted.

     I feel you, friend.

     I've never understood the phrase 'mob mentality' in the personal sense. I've never found myself caught up in the mood of the people in an audience or a crowd. It's clear that many people are affected by the larger group.

     At most I feel a sense of danger, like I might spook a herd of buffalo to charge me.
