The Mayo Clinic’s website indicates that Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you avoid situations that you’re afraid might cause you to panic.
You might avoid being alone, leaving your home or any situation where you could feel trapped, embarrassed or helpless if you do panic.

Simply put, though, agoraphobia is fear of fear.  In other words, people who suffer from agoraphobia are scared of being scared.  People suffering from agoraphobia and panic attacks will avoid doing things that cause them fear.

If for example you fear going to the mall, then you’ll likely get into the habit of avoiding the mall.  This fear usually spreads to other situations.  You might start by avoiding other things and staying at home.
