Scopophobia (the fear of beeing watched/seen) which has basically induced agoraphobia (fear of outside).
I'm an autistic woman though, so people watching me and assuming shitty things, puts me in a very real danger as I can't information process in real time, or efficiently talk out loud.
TIL the name for this. I don't like being in public and the opportunity for anyone to observe me in any way. Love being outside, hate that there are other people out there.
I was wondering if I'd see another agoraphobe in here
I don't really have anything else to add, been diagnosed for years and still workingonit
