sociophobia

People suffer sociophobia if they don't like being touched by strange people. They hate the French because French kissing and shit like that...By and large, sociophobes don't like contact with other human beings.

scopophobia

AN INTESTINE FEAR OF BEING LOOKED AND OR STARED AT AS WELL AS SOME SERVERE CASES BEING AFRAID OF BEING MENTIONED

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

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."

Scomophobia

Fear of being governed by a fossil fuel or climate denier.

'ScoMo' is the nickname of the current Australian Prime Minister, a staunch supporter of coal mining and resister of science. Scomophobia has spread through the Australasian region as neighbouring nations look on in terror and disbelief. Scomophobics believe in science and have a profound emotional attachment to their home planet.
The Scomophobia was so serious the school children had to go on strike for 3 years.
