The phrase "join the crowd" means to become part of a larger group or to do what most other people are doing. It can also be used informally to say that the problems or feelings someone is experiencing are shared by many others, implying that one is not alone in that situation. This expression often appears in casual conversation and can carry a light-hearted, sympathetic, or sometimes humorous tone. It highlights commonality and shared experiences among people rather than uniqueness or isolation.
In social terms, joining the crowd can refer to following the majority or fitting in with others to avoid feeling left out.
