Anthropophobia

Anthropophobia is when someone is very afraid of being around other people. It's like being scared of going to a party or being in a crowded room. You know how sometimes you might feel shy or nervous around new people? Well, imagine feeling that way all the time, even around people you know well. People with anthropophobia might worry a lot about what others think of them or feel like they will be judged or criticized. It can make them feel very lonely and sad. But just like other fears, there are ways to help people with anthropophobia feel more comfortable around others with practice and patience.
