> Agoraphobia involves fearing and avoiding places or situations that might cause panic and feelings of being trapped, helpless or embarrassed. You may fear an actual or upcoming situation. For example, you may fear using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line, or being in a crowd.
Wait, do I have agoraphobia now?
I thought we were still supposed to be avoiding indoor spaces and crowds on account of the highly infectious disease propagating the globe.
We're supposed to be comfortable sharing air with others again?
I wouldn't say avoiding others during a pandemic is agoraphobia, it's a rational response. But after a society has largely resumed dense public activities, it's only possibly a phobia if you've formed a personal preference to partake based on your own risk/reward tolerance yet find yourself anxious to do so.
