I found this on line: "The term agoraphobia has been widely misunderstood. Its literal definition suggests a fear of 'open spaces'. However, this is an incomplete and misleading view. Agoraphobics are not necessarily afraid of open spaces. Rather, they are afraid of having panicky feelings, wherever. these fearful feelings may occur. For many, they happen at home, in houses of worship, or in crowded supermarkets, places that are certainly not 'open'. "In fact, agoraphobia is a condition which develops when a person begins to avoid spaces or situations associated with anxiety. Typical 'phobic situations' might include driving, shopping, crowded places, traveling, standing in line, being alone, meetings and social gatherings." Nat
