Now this is a VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY true meaning (definitely) I mean honestly though why would it be in the dictionary if it wouldn't be true?! So yeah basically the meaning of sophophobia is is the fear of Sophs, so you are basically just scared of any person named Soph or with a name that can be shortened to Soph, so yes very relatable definitely :D
"Luke look it's Soph!"
"SHIT I-I'M SCARED OF SOPHS GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!! I-I HAVE SOPHOPHOBIA!!"
"Luke look it's just Soph there's nothing wrong about her!"
*brings Soph closer*

DO NOT LOOK AT US PLEASE

I REPEAT;

D O N O T L O O K A T U S I B E G O F Y O U
Someone with Scopophobia; "Please don't look at me, I have scopophobia and it really freaks me out."

Random person while directly looking at them; "Oh! I understand *name*! I have stage fright sometimes, it's fine being looked at, just get over it. "

Same person with Scopophobia; "Now you, dear mortal do not understand with how much capacity this has taken to affect me, now may you please not mention or look at me before I either have a panic/anxiety attack, or pull a SCP-096."

Solophobia 

Share definition Flag
n. The fear of being alone. Amplified by separation from one's parent(s) at a young age, and/or being left alone at a young age for extended periods of time, solophobia is a powerful, instinctual, primal aversion to loneliness, which inspires action without thought. Solophobes seek contact with others at all times, potentially to unhealthy extents. Often immediately indistinguishable from gregariousness, solophobia differs in that it is caused by the desire to avoid negative feelings rather than a desire to seek positive feelings. While it is possible for a solophobe to experience positive feelings as an indirect result of acting on their fear, the root motivation remains the avoidance of negative feelings.

Multiple solophobes, in common company, run the risk of long periods of inaction, locked into the avoidance of negative feelings, but unable to seek positivity. A romantic bond between two undiagnosed solophobes is one of the most powerful interpersonal bonds known to pseudo-psychology.

Solophobia is distinguished from the seemingly similar "autophobia," where auto = self, and phobia = fear. Theoretically, feelings caused by autophobia would remain in the presence of others, but feelings caused by solophobia would temporarily evaporate in the presence of others. The difference between fearing one's self and fearing solitude necessitates the creation of the word Solophobia.
"In hindsight, I realize that my solophobia was the cause of my compulsion to put off my homework to hang out with my neighbors in college, who bored me anyway."

"My dog will scratch at the door to go outside to pee, but when I close the door behind her, her solophobia takes over and she immediately wants back inside, rendering her unable to pee. Dilemma."

"I think I might need to move, my neighbor keeps solophobily trying to hang out, and he smells like hot garbage."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
