Video Transcription
It can start in adolescence with an experience of being bullied at school that makes us a bit more, a bit more on edge, a bit more uncomfortable around people, a bit more worried that maybe people may pick on us or humiliate us. It could start with that and be reinforced every time as people learn to avoid situations and withdraw. It might be harder to actually reconnect with people and it’s something that can upgrade from more specific kind of anxiety to more broader areas. So people can become agoraphobic if they are so worried about being around people that actually they don’t wanna go out.
