“Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe with no way to escape. These situations can include public transit, shopping centers, crowds and queues, or simply being outside their home on their own.”

    Funny I also have agoraphobia and never even considered doing that. Then again I don’t really know anyone besides my spouse, who I met on MySpace a long time ago.

    Are you meeting strangers online and telling them to come over?

    Do you not find interaction with people exhausting? Could be that I have basically been at home for decades besides medical appointments.

      I have my friends and my husband’s friends and their extended circles and so on… that’s how I make new friends mostly. Not really. Even though I have anxiety, I’m not necessarily an introvert, which is a bit peculiar.
