you don't really have to do something you don't want to do, but i actually did lie myself about things i didn't want to do, only to wonder what am i missing here? i may have enjoyed myself and made some good friends. try to get out more and you'll find out what you've been missing. i myself am agoraphobic, and i still do lie so i can see why you do lie. every time i get the chance to now i try not to lie anymore and enjoy myself while i'm out. you need to learn how to not be anxious about going out.good luck
