Hello, fellow frightened one. I am a severe agoraphobic who also strongly dislikes people. I'm quite opposite in how I deal with them & in turn how I am treated. I am very vocal, bluntly honest & famously unstable, so I control most with fear. I would like to say I am generally well liked, but, when people act stupid, I give them crazy. Or just make them feel stupid. It may not be the healthy way to deal, but it works for me. People can only treat you as badly as you allow them. Hope that helped. Welcome to pc!
