Okay, thanks for the answers so far, but would it be possible, then, for a person to have both, perhaps a fear of large open spaces because of a fear of meeting and interacting with people there?

In agoraphobia, one is afraid of wide spaces while social anxienty appears when one has to communicate with others. That is, one fear has to do with space, the other with people.
