Fear of going out

I am a bit cautious, but try to do things I enjoy most. For going to Goodwill, is it possible to go to during their slowest times-you could ask what they are. If an aisle is crowded, go to a quiet aisle until people move on. Keep a mask in pocket for checkout lines or if someone gets close. That minimizes time masked. I loosely try for 6'. That's how I manage shopping though if I have to go when it's crowded, I mask. It's quiet pretty often though.

For Kingdom Hall, could you sit in back? Maybe speak with leader/minister about concern? I hope you find solution.

Do you think my being claustrophobic could have something to having issues with wearing the mask

Some churches have speakers in other rooms where those with health problems such as we, you, have can sit in those rooms to hear what is being said. I have done that myself and enjoyed the privacy and just being there to know I am out and about. You mentioned a friend ......and they might like that idea of privacy also.?????
