As do I.

I also find it really hard to concentrate or participate if I'm surrounded by or interacting with more than three other people. Sometimes, in a crowd, I can manage a kind of hyperfocus, but not on anything that requires real work.

Also, after the three person threshold is breached, if participation is still my goal, I find it very difficult to not fall into either a center-of-attention or invisible role.
