While I have always been shy/ quiet I was never agoraphobic until my 20s-- while pregnant I suddenly found myself severely agoraphobic with no obvious trigger. This in turn made the social anxiety MUCH worse. I would make plans with friends and cancel last minute, because the stress of both going out and having to socialize was too much to bear. Eventually I just stopped making plans and fell out of touch with the few close friends I had.
Did anyone else not become agoraphobic until well into adulthood?
