Friggen 100%. Me in a group of 3 or 4 people having a conversation, loud or quite - no dramas. But put me in a room with lots of voices in the background and I can't hear anything from the people right next to me. The background voices are like turning the dial on an old-school radio.I don't have an anxiety problem with crowds or anything like that, but if the crowd is too big and the background noise becomes too loud, I can't hear a fucking thing and I just sit there watching. Which gets Mrs George's anxiety up because she thinks I'm upset and not joining in, when I'm just chilling. If I concentrate really hard on one voice I can hear most of what they say.
