Hello. I was wondering the difference between social anxiety and agoraphobia. I know that they each have a different criteria and that for social anxiety wise, it would seem to me most people with social anxiety would for the criteria for agoraphobia. I hate crowds, can't stand them, and I won't used public transportation unless I have to. Too many people. When I am in crowds or buses or what not, I am afraid of getting a panic attack from my social anxiety. This is how I also feel about performances. Panic attack = being judged = embarrassing. Social anxiety at its finest. I am more afraid of the panic attack performing musical wise, but during a presentation, I am more afraid of the people judging me. Would these be two different things or the same thing? I have not mentioned this to pdoc because I am not sure about it. I think it's social anxiety, but social anxiety isn't the fear of panic attacks. Half the time presenting I am afraid of panic attacks, and being judged of course. I don't fear panic attacks in crowds though. Just being judged. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for your help [emoji4] .
