The "phobia" with the closest definition is Haphephobia which can mean a fear of being touched or touching others. If you're trying to describe your condition to another person then you'd probably want to use Haphephobia and then go on to explain the particular variation that describes you most accurately. I don't think you'll find a single word that comes closer to fitting your particular fear.

What is it called when you are scared of people?
I believe this is a mixture of 2 phobias, as opposed to a specific phobia, my opinion is that it is Claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces) and Demophobia(fear of crowds/mobs).I get this sort of thing when around people...it's as if they're in my bubble and I haven't consciously allowed them in, i.e. if they hug me as opposed to me hugging them - but I usually have bigger anxieties when it's toward my face. I get short of breath, and sometimes get hot flushes/perspiration (especially in places like Supermarkets and Shopping Centres [Malls]).As for tackling this sort of phobia/anxiety, I would go to a Doctor/GP and ask for a referral to the relevent specialist.Hope this helps.
