Eremophobia

Eromophobia

Eremophobia (Greek έρημος - desert + θῦμον (phobia) - fear that appeared earlier) - this phenomenon has been known since ancient times, when people were afraid of loneliness. The term refers to those people who are terrified of loneliness, they are afraid of being alone, without the constant company of other people and communication. Every person has their own fear of loneliness. Some people are afraid of the dark when the door in the room is closed, others have problems with the onset of menstruation. But not everyone who is afraid of being alone suffers from eremophobia. This disease is considered clinically normal. People are usually afraid to be left without company, especially in the evening or at night, as loneliness can set in very quickly. For some people, being out for a walk in a crowd of people does not cause any anxiety and they are afraid of being alone. The reason for the lack of emotions may also be negative experiences from past events. For example, the loss of parents.
