An antonym for monophobia is sociability or gregariousness, which refers to the enjoyment of being around other people and feeling comfortable in social settings.
It actually has three names: Demophobia is the fear of crowds. Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces and crowds. Ochlophobia is the abnormal fear of crowds.
Demophobia, or the fear of crowds, affects a significant number of people, though exact prevalence rates can vary. Estimates suggest that around 2-5% of the population may experience this phobia to varying degrees. Many individuals with demophobia may avoid crowded places, which can impact their daily lives. Treatment options, including therapy, can help those affected manage their symptoms.
Agoraphobia? im pretty sure. One milder, but longer lasting and even more troublesome, difficult to eradicate and treat, version of this "phobia" can be described as "fear of overpopulation", which not necessarily refers to immediate physical menace or presence of crowds, but to the looming and permanent presence of such crowds competing for resources (air, water, natural environment), making them scarcer and more difficult to get such satisfiers, than they could be otherwise if no human overpopulation exists.
Some people have a fear of large crowds. This is known as Agoraphobia. It is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where the sufferer perceives certain environments as dangerous or uncomfortable. This is often due to the environment's vast openness or crowdedness.
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.
