this isn't funny, I've had agraphobia and SA for over 5 years now. It is not a laughing matter I assure you.
I hate agoraphobia
watch?v=4V6y0kMjr04 end you anxiety in 6-12 weeks. youre welcome
the title should be agoraphobia , I guess you could have both but they never mention anything about feeling uncomfortable around people in this video? I think avoidant personality disorder would fit better for severe social anxiety! thumbs up if you agree!
