Lonerphobia is the fear of being alone, or being without another person in close
proximity. In other words, fear of being a loner.
The term "lonerphobia" is a milder, unscientific
description of the more acute term "monophobia".
In most cases, lonerphobics can be identified with their unwillingness to go anywhere alone without at least one other person in
accompaniment. They are often refered to as "clingy" people.
