Do you feel sick in big stores?

I think you may have an anxiety disorder. You should talk to someone professionally.

Sounds like anxiety, possibly social or stimulation. Do you get like this in other super crowded locations that are not enclosed (think open air malls, concerts, etc.)? What about in a location that has constant background noises, but you're alone or with very few people?

I got like this in shopping malls, and some big box stores until my early 20s. I'm sure it's related to some type of social anxiety or overstimulation.

No.

Yes... Because I have anxiety stemming from being around crowds of people. That's why I only shop at places like that when they first open in the morning and nobody is there and they aren't playing music/ads hella loud yet.

I feel overwhelmed at stores especially when they're busy. I found that shopping with noise cancelling headphones/earbuds helps massively.

Walmart depresses me with its new bare concrete floors, and dystopian looking decor. The sheer amount of stuff to look it is overwhelming, too. So yeah, I don't like going there.

The rows of flourescent lights make my eyes tired and sometimes hurt my head.

Just to mix things up:

No, I haven't experienced such a thing but I'm also barely ever in a big box store

I'm not affected by the visuals afaict. I do wonder about the air. I always wear an N95 respirator in any store and that helps filter pathogens. I haven't brought a CO2 monitor or anything like that though. I have been wanting to do that.

Look up supermarket syndrome. It's a thing apparently

I'm now just thinking of Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul...

The lights bother me and something makes a high pitched sound that bothers me (tho this is getting better as my hearing goes).

Lights, general dystopia, annoyance at zombie like customers just roving the aisles; impeding my existence, never having what I actually went there to get.

Yeah. Big box stores are a fucking nightmare all the goddamn time.

And the worst part is knowing I could’ve given Jeff Bezos more money and caused myself less of a nightmare-time by just ordering whatever stupid shit I was looking for off Amazon and transferring the psychic damage to the warehouse and delivery drivers.

But all these memories… tears in the rain, etc. etc.

No but being in one ranks highly on my not want to do list.

Yes

No.

Not really. It's not the location that's the issue for me but rather the other people there. I get uncomfortable in big crowds. Not overly so but I don't particularly enjoy it and at times it feels a bit suffocating.

i feel anxious sick there, but not sick sick

If I spend too long (30minutes) in one of these big stores like shoe or clothes shopping I do get sick, headache, stomach feels weird. Does not happen in grocery stores though.

I felt like that last week at the farmer's market. I hate it.

Yes. I get sweaty and kind of panicky. I usually do curbside pickup for thjs reason, but if I have to go, I plan out my path and keep my head down.

no

Nope, can’t say I’ve ever heard of this before

OP, please reword to be an open ended question.

Edit: Locking.

Yeah but my crazy mother spent 15 hours every Saturday and 15 hours every Sunday, to shop for herself and buy the barest of the bare minimum for the kids while skimping out as much as she can on them. I went consecutive years never sleeping on Sunday night because of her. I never shop in person anymore, if I'm in a store it's for an online pickup order or exactly one item. One time my online pickup order was lost and took 20 minutes to be remade and I had a panic attack and was on the verge of vomiting. Fuck target and I hope every C*stco becomes an Amazon warehouse. Even better if Mario went for the ceo to impress his brother.
