Fear of being alone (Autophobia) test. Autophobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense fear of being alone. This fear can manifest itself in various forms, from mild discomfort to panic attacks. People suffering from autophobia often experience excessive anxiety about being completely alone or isolated from society.
The main symptoms include a constant desire to be in the company of people, avoidance of situations where loneliness is possible, and a feeling of deep anxiety when not in contact with others. Autophobia is often associated with low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, or past trauma.
A specialized test that assesses the level of anxiety at the thought of being alone and the impact of this fear on everyday life can be used to diagnose autophobia. Treatment may include psychotherapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication to reduce anxiety. Support from loved ones and self-esteem work also play an important role in overcoming this disorder.
