If someone says that they are agoraphobic it doesn’t necessarily mean that they never leave their home
It might mean that they avoid situations where it’s difficult to escape like places with large crowds
It might mean they only have a limited area where they feel safe like only venturing a certain amount of distance from their home
It might mean that they can go places but only when they are accompanied by people they know and trust
Despite media presentations, agoraphobia doesn’t look the same for everyone
