Introverts often have problems with overstimulation. Shopping is designed to be the most stimulating experience possible. Every product is fighting for your attention. Every shitty overcompressed pop song on the radio is fighting for your attention. Every commissioned sales person is fighting for your attention. For me if I get overstimulated it can lead to panic attacks, especially if i have to make choices under time constraints. But if I put on headphones and I can reduce the amount of information to just the visual space which is much easier to handle. Most of the problems in my life have been solved with this and a pair of headphones.
