So not sure if this is all that active. The worst part of agoraphobia is wanting to be around people yet at the same time not wanting to it's an extremely lonely feeling especially when you have trust issues.

Please be kind ✌

I can leave my house and go to a store, walk or a pub..but if I'm with others, and new people especially..I feel im going to panic. I believe I read it's a form of Agoraphobia. So I'll decline trips that are further away with friends, and I even get a twinge of panic walking with someone else. Like am I going to feel trapped. I know it's from decades of trauma and being told I have no rights. That I needed to accept whatever happened to me. My parent was cruel and these oppressive ideas made me very anxious and scared as an adult. Do you have this form of Agoraphobia?

@Coralmist not sure how much I want to say in a public forum.

I honestly try to be social and even in a forum for a specific thing and even asking people to be kind people have to be rude or cruel so it makes me want to shut down and no longer try here or out there in the real world.
