I am like you and have a hard time in places like malls. My anxiety just spikes.
Second hand stores are the bomb. I love to shop at them and find awesome deals. Same with pawn shops. Although I don't get out much, they are some of my favorite places to go. That and flea markets.
The food looked amazing and my mouth is watering just looking at it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I hear you, clearly! I don't think it was a thing before visiting the first Hipermarket here, these extremely big supermarkets or shopping malls (sometimes even worse: an all-in-one, lol)..
These huge stores were new to me until I moved to the Granada area and first visited one. Although I loved the fact that they had so much inside one store, I was extremely overwhelmed going from A to B in that store as well as my back issues would start to appear and I would be drained afterwards. Headaches almost every time but yes, sometimes when extremely busy (and often little oxygen inside, oof) made me want to run towards the exit and head out instantly.
I don't understand why they also have to add all these bright white lightning everywhere and make them flicker all the time, I can't deal with it and I seriously carry my sunglasses and sometimes just wear them inside because of this :)
Second hand stores are the bomb, those here suck, but I love the second hand clothing store in Granada. Flea markets are visited at least monthly here, as we have a little on in our town every month but we prefer driving to the other coast and make it a daytrip to visit the bigger flea market there.. Win win, nice trip away as well as beautiful scenery and some possible treasures..
The food was definitely good, I regret not taking pictures of it all but will do so the next time if we eat there in the future. No plans for it now but I'm sure there will be another moment that we decide this is the best option..
Thank you, you too!
