Autophobia - a fairly common mental disorder. It is based on fear of
man to be alone. Also, the fear of loneliness may have a name or
monofobiya izolofobiya. Timely detection of problems can be lifesaving, because apart from the constant worry there is a danger of
committing suicide. It is among autophobia annual record the highest
number of suicides.

3. Causes
The causes of this disorder may be obvious factors, and sometimes the
most unexpected events in life. The disease can be formed in early
childhood. Many adults say kids "Calm down, and now leave you here
and go away." It seems to be a harmless phrase that can stop child
tantrum. But that it may become the first building blocks in the
formation of the very fear of being abandoned. At older ages, the
impetus for the development of a phobia can be a breakup or the
death of loved ones.

difficult. But it is still possible to identify the most common causes:

1. Lack of attention in infancy: mother often goes with a little baby

communicate long suit when he cries;
2. In the first years of life the baby is not given sufficient attention to
the development of his personal psychological qualities;
3. The child was left alone as a punishment or to throw it often
threatened;

4. Relationship with troubled companies in adolescence;

5. Heavy experience in transition, lack of support;
6. As they grow older there is the fear of not manage to have a family
of his own, to have a baby;
7. Excessive credulity to unfamiliar people: man quickly becomes
attached to unreliable people;

one, a friend;
9. Initially low self-esteem, difficulty in getting in touch with people;
10. Love drama of the past: a difficult and sudden rupture, betrayal of
a loved one;

This is not a complete list of possible causes. Sometimes the source of

the problem becomes impossible to ascertain.

4. Symptoms and signs of fear of loneliness

The course of this disorder can be so subtle that it is sometimes
identified simply impossible. This behavior is typical of insecure people,
the inhabitants of modern cities, as well as teenagers.
1. Diffidence- Low self-esteem, distrust of himself in terms of making
important decisions. Man always looks for support from others.
2. Committed to people- Man may change in a moment, and turn
from a closed to an ardent introvert extrovert who constantly strives to
communicate with people. Sometimes this behavior, on the contrary,
pushes people that only exacer bates the situation.
3. Trying to keep a man close at any cost- Usually this manifests
itself in extreme concessions. Personal opinion is lost, everything is

done the way tell the others, but would not be alone. Autophobia can
go to extreme measures and to begin to blackmail other threats to
commit suicide if they leave.
4. Panic attacks- Unjustified panic attacks - is the symptom that
clearly indicates the fear of loneliness. And it is reflected not only in
those cases when you need to say goodbye for a while. The impetus
for the attack could be a banal situation where people can not get
through to someone for a long time or there is no response to a
message in social networks or SMS.
5. The requirement of evidence- It is not enough that there are a
number of people close. Autophobia need to be sure that he is loved
and will not throw. Therefore, it requires verbal evidence.
6. The illogicality of the relationship- Very often, these people are
unscrupulous in the choice of the second half. They can start a shortterm relationship, but always being the initiators of the gap. Chance of
a second option - a family, that is, to marry, to roughly the first
counter. The main purpose - not to be alone and not be thrown.
