That would be nice but I feel genuinely unsafe to go out (for good reason) so not really the best suggestion.

I have been frequently sexually harassed in public (yes, even in the library) and the closest shopping centre is at the epicentre of the roughest part of town. I’m not interested in β€˜overcoming’ my aversion to going out in public while living here, soz. The people here are trash and it takes a toll on me both physically and mentally.

I will absolutely be working on expanding my comfort zone if I make it to somewhere better.

Thanks for the rest of it. I’m doing the best I can to make it through bit by bit.
