Go back vs Come back

Hello everyone,

I always doubt when I have to use go back or come back because I can not see the difference between them , could anyone give me some examples to understand it , please?

I appreciate it

Simply put, it depends on your starting point. We go to a place but come back from a place. I went to the store this morning, and when I came back home, I found the back door open.
