Scoptophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of being seen or stared at. Those who are insecure are greatly affected
by this phobia. They’re afraid that if
someone looks at them long enough they will see all of their flaws. Some people
just get nervous if they are stared at for too long. Scoptophobia is also known
as Scopophobia and Ophthalmophobia.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
