What is a likely behavior of a person with agoraphobia?

A person with agoraphobia typically experiences intense fear and anxiety in situations where escape might be difficult or help unavailable, particularly in crowded places or public spaces. This condition often leads individuals to avoid leaving their home altogether, or they may only venture out in very specific, controlled situations. Therefore, it is most likely they will stay close to home, as this provides a sense of safety and control over their environment.

In contrast, seeking new experiences, engaging in adventure travel, or frequently socializing with strangers are behaviors that are generally at odds with the avoidance and fear that characterize agoraphobia. Such activities would typically induce greater anxiety for someone with this condition, reinforcing their tendency to remain close to home.
