Agoraphobia / Social anxiety

My definition of agoraphobia is: because of the fear of the anxiety symptoms you are afraid to do social things. You are afraid to get the symptoms like a red face, heart attack symptoms, dizziness and nausea while in the presence of other people.

For me, agoraphobia is not being afraid of large spaces. It can be, but it is not necessary to have agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia and social anxiety are closely related.
