crowded together

Squeezed into proximity

Crowded together describes people or things packed closely in a space, with little room between them.

The phrase emphasizes proximity and compression: Passengers stood crowded together on the subway platform.

It can suggest discomfort or intimacy depending on context—strangers crowded together feel cramped, while family crowded together around a fire feels cozy.
