Re: agoraphobia help me?
Hello Rich,
Firstly I don't think you are Agoraphobic...I am and what you describe does not sound like me, but, I do think you are suffering with Social Anxiety.
Being an Agorgaphobic, I am scared to go out of the house, I do, but not alone and I cannot go far (although saying that today has been a good day for me).
I have made friends on here though who do suffer with Social Anxiety and what you describe sounds exactly the same as what they sufer with. They cannot make eye contact with people as they feel they are being judged or not worthy etc...they don't answer the phone because they dont know what to say to the person on the other end.
I am 100% sure that another member will be along soon and that they will be able to help you with the questions you raised and also to confirm that you are not Agoraphobic.
