Agoraphobia Symptoms
1. Strange or unrealistic feeling
People with Agoraphobia always say that they are feeling unreal. They might look normal to everyone around them but internally, they feel the strange and unreal world around it.
If they are in their comfort zone which is mostly their home, they behave and perform all the activities as any other person but when it comes to going out of home/room they start feeling unreal or strange. This could be a very early sign of being Agoraphobic. Remember, this is not because of laziness.
2. Unbelievable reality
“It is UNBELIEVABLE!” This could be a regular expression when you see or face a happy or a shocking situation. People with Agoraphobia don’t say it for such exclusive situations. They keep on saying it for obvious things and objects because of their fright.
