Autophobia

Autophobia is when a person is really scared of being alone. It can make someone feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or even panicked when they are alone or think they will be alone. People with autophobia often don't want to be away from other people or be in an environment that feels isolated or quiet. It can cause them to avoid being alone, or even make them panic if they do find themselves alone.
