what is it called when someone is pathologically afraid to be left alone? i dont just mean being left without company for a few minutes... not that extreme. i mean when someone has lost both parents, a brother and many friends (all died or abandoned them) and as a result, they live with the fear that ppl they hold dear will eventually abandon them or die. so a person with this fear therefore consciously avoids getting too attached to someone, coz they're scared they'll lose them.
someone told me this is called "monahofobia" is this valid?
please...only serious answers.
thanx
