Is the agoraphobia or something else?

I have a terrible fear of going out by myself and it's getting worse. I'm fine when i'm with somebody so i don't think it's agoraphobia but when i'm on my own i feel extremely exposed, like there's a spotlight on me. I hate walking past people and feel really awkward when i see people walking towards me, especially groups of people my age. I hate crossing the road at traffic lights and i feel like every car that drives past is looking at me.

Totally agoraphobia. Get some help before it gets too bad. Ive been struggling with it for the last 10 years.. message me if you need some advice!
 
I get those feelings sometimes too. You feel like everyone is watching your every move. I always just tell myself that most people are more focused on what they're doing (Driving etc.) to bother paying much attention, and most people probably won't even remember that they saw you. Maybe they do, maybe they don't but it helps me to think that way. Maybe it will help you:idontknow:

Same here... Feel this since 2003 and I just found out last month that I am agoraphobic...


Please I need an advice on how to overcome this.

I can totally relate to those experiences, but It's not in my place to tell you if it's agoraphobia or not. Me I was never diagnosed for my condition at that time, and as time passed I finally overcame that fear. My advice is to seek out professional help before this thing takes complete control over your life. I lost most of my young adult years to this condition, and I wish I sought out help sooner. I hope you find the strength to become better :), my best wishes to you.
 
I have this too, every car that drives by, i think the people are watching me and i get extremely nervous. i think the fear we got is to be watched
