Answer 2

Agoraphobia _ it is a fear of people and crowed places usually, but can have underlying meanings as well.
The true meaning of agoraphobia is fear of crowds, but for many people it is much more than that.Anxiety or panic attacks that occur originally in one place can spread to others until the sufferer finds it hard to be anywhere unless ‘escape’ is easy.
Eventually, it can get so bad that you feel safe only at home. The brain’s survival emergency system gets ‘hyper aroused’ and starts to respond to almost any situation with anxiety or panic attacks.
Effective agoraphobia treatment
Overcoming Agoraphobia retrains the brain to understand that these situations are actually safe, and that it does not need to generate anxiety responses. Although medication is often prescribed as agoraphobia treatment, detraumatisation and relaxation is what is required. Bio feed back helps as well. fear of people I think might be what you are describing, I take medication for this, have had it for years, and my father and 2 husbands abandon me over the years. Good luck-Tash

Answer 3

This phobia could be Sociophobia( Fear of society or people in general.) or related to it. It could also be Anthropophobia which basically the same thing. But remember phobias, are a state of mind. So if your scared, try to build confidence and be nice to people and don't give a care about what they think, cause you were trying to be nice to them so there shouldn't be any reasonable reason for them to not like you. Also try to be stable and strong. GOOD LUCK. I like you cause your bold enough to ask this question. =)

Answer 4

That sounds like Dependent Personality DIsorder more than a phobia.

The DSM-IV-TR, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines dependent personality disorder as a "pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of that leads to submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:


Has difficulty making everyday decisions without an excessive amount of advice and reassurance from others
Needs others to assume responsibility for most major areas of his or her life
Has difficulty expressing disagreement with others because of fear of loss of support or approval (this does not include realistic fears of retribution)
Has difficulty initiating projects or doing things on his or her own (because of a lack of self-confidence in judgment or abilities rather than a lack of motivation or energy)
Goes to excessive lengths to obtain nurturance and support from others, to the point of volunteering to do things that are unpleasant
Feels uncomfortable or helpless when alone because of exaggerated fears of being unable to care for himself or herself
Urgently seeks another relationship as a source of care and support when a close relationship ends
Is unrealistically preoccupied with fears of being left to take care of himself or herself

Borderline Personality Disorder also has fear of abandonment, but it has a lot more severe features like impulsive behavior, mood swings, transient psychosis, etc.

Answer 5

These are syndromes not phobias.

They are symptoms of other mental health issues.
