Monophobia: The Fear of Solitude or of Being Alone


Monophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of solitude or of being alone.  This phobia is also known as Autophobia, Isolophobia and Eremophobia.
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.
