The fear of being alone (otherwise known as monophobia). Monophobia, like all phobias, falls under Anxiety Disorders, which is really important to remember because even though the word “phobia” is defined as, “an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.” In many ways these fears lead to symptoms of anxiety. You can feel on edge, wired, or worrying about what is going to happen if you have to face that fear.
The specific fear of being alone can have many causes and risk factors, the most common of those are past trauma, abusive or just unavailable parents, and lack of proper attachment as a child. Because there are so many causes there will obviously be many variations of monophobia.
