What is autophobia?

Autophobia is the fear of being alone or of oneself — experiencing intense anxiety or panic when alone or when confronting one's own thoughts. It often co-occurs with dependent personality traits and attachment anxiety. The underlying fear frequently involves being abandoned or being unable to cope independently. Lovon provides a compassionate presence for moments when being alone feels unbearable.
