Best Answer

Anthropophobia is a psycho-social disorder where one has an irrational fear of others, social situations, groups. It may be complicated by either Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and/or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is doubtful that there is a single cause of anthropophobia, but more likely that several factors go into the causation of this under reported phobia. Psycho-Emotional Abuse as a child can be one factor. A child who is repeatedly called "stupid" by a parent or parents, may grow to fee awkward in social situations and feel that others are judging her or him in social situations. The possibility of embarrassment is paralyzing and the symptoms of panic, elevated heart rate, fear of what's coming, and a feeling of impending doom set in. If the person can't handle it he or she flees to solitude. Many sufferers of Anthropophobia call themselves Solitudophiles instead.
