I hate going outside when my neighbors are out in their yards?

I have a fear of being around others and I'm afraid to go outside when my neighbors are out in their yards?

I will check through my window on all sides of my house to be sure no one is outside in their yards before going outside?

How can I get over this fear of seeing neighbors? I hate living in town and having neighbors but I can't afford to move into the country and a secluded place which is on my wish list.

I have the same anxiety as you. My neighbors are nice people but I have a fear of talking to anyone even some people in my family.

I prefer to be alone most of the time and I have trouble coming up with things to talk about with people especially strangers.

You're not alone and I too wish I could move out into the country but I need my internet and I can't get good enough internet out in the country.

I've been trying to work on my anxiety and trying to get out their around people but it's hard to do.
