Agoraphobia
I'm often scared to leave the house. It's not healthy. I don't know how to make new friends or connect with old ones. I've tried everything.
Hi @NeWay <3
It's the most difficult thing to overcome but you can do this, you really can.
Have you a good supportive friend whom you can confide in and then ask then to go with you on a very short walk. Once you've managed this, they'll be no stopping you. Extend the next a little further and then a tip to the shops. Make alist of all the places you want to visit and try to achieve one of those each week by making it your goal.
Thinking of you and sending {{{strength}}} to get though this

@lucy2 thank you. Yes, the first step is the hardestz to find a friend I can confide in. It's hard for me to feel vulnerable, especially with men because it looks weak or negative. So I just avoid it altogether. Thank you
@NeWay
Don't give up now, you can do this. Do you have a family friend perhaps that would help?
Another suggestion would be to have a 7cups buddy perhaps whose trying to do the same as you, go out! Have a think about it.
Always here for you.

I am here with you. You’re not alone. Hugs. I was coming to write nearly this exact message. I don’t know how to make knew friends… and I guess I don’t blend well with the people in my area.

Hi, I feel the same way sometimes too, I understand how hard it can be to leave the house when you're struggling with the fear of something happening.
@NeWay Hi, I am sorry you're going through this. It can be very frustrating. Have you tried asking a friend to accompany you? This can help with calming your nerves as you'll have your friend around. I know it can be tough but I believe in you. You got this!
@NeWay
Sorry that you're dealing with this! It can feel scary to connect with others and it sounds like you've made efforts to try a lot of things. I'd be interested to know what you've tried so far and what runs through your mind when you have to connect with others. Thank you!
