What's the phobia name for having a fear of big wide open spaces?
Question:
Answers:
Agoraphobia has the definition of 'fear of open spaces' or 'fear of public areas' (agora = marketplace (a wide open public area), phobia= fear - literally: fear of the marketplace)
It is not necessarily a fear of being in a wide open space, but rather a fear or anxiety disorder resulting from being in a situation where the ability to avoid people is low - like in a crowd, or a place where they are not in control. Agoraphobiacs might experience panic attacks, or even decide to stay in their homes to avoid the outside and unfamiliar world.
