Actually agoraphobia, psychologically defined, is the fear of being outside, something terrible happening and having no immediate assistance or refuge. == == agoraphobia: more specifically, fear of crossing or being in the midst of open spaces, which are "outside." yes it is called agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is a condition where the sufferer becomes anxious in environments that are unfamiliar or where he or she perceives that they have little control. Triggers for this anxiety may include crowds, wide open spaces or traveling, even short distances. This anxiety is often compounded by a fear of social embarrassment, as the agoraphobic fears the onset of a panic attack and appearing distraught in public.

Perhaps "agoraphobia", although agoraphobes are not so much afraid of going outside as they are of large open areas, especially public places.
