Any advice on tackling being on a large campus with agoraphobia? I wanna embrace college for all it offers, but walking across campus is scary

i used to have such bad social anxiety and would get sick from doing things i wasn’t used to doing. tho i am medicated now i do have to say that having someone do something with you really helps! if you don’t have a friend at your campus then try to make one. i go to a small community college, but i was so anxious until a stranger smiled at me and complimented my shirt, now she’s a friend. do only what you feel comfortable with!

It's just expensive high school. The FOMO of other stuff is a marketing campaign and is no way the predictor of the rest of your life or current or future happiness

Thank you for the advice. I feel like a failure if I drive to the dining hall, but otherwise I’m struggling to get there
