Perhaps this is social anxiety or acute anxiety or going through the challenging experience of adjusting to new life? Has this happened to you before?
Start where you're most comfortable at and work up little by little... I know some people chat with new people online and meet up later. Gives a bit of space to work thru stuff slowly. Moving to a new city is quite an anxiety provoking experience. I like to be a wallflower and really feel out the environment & people, then make my debut lol.
I'm not as extreme as agoraphobia but its the same reactions just down about 50%. I do fine at work and moved up there in my short time here, but its just strange making friends. My wife goes to bible studies and stuff but whenever I went with her I had to keep my mouth shut from saying too much and I can't find friends there since there's too much difference in views. I think I'm gonna try some groups on meetup.com for meditation maybe..
