Autophobia- Fear of being alone

Just because I don't constantly hang out with friends doesn't mean that I like being alone. In fact, I'm rarely alone. I usually have my family nearby. When I'm home alone is a source of panic for me. In fact, this is quite a common phobia.

But honestly, tell me your horror stories about being alone! :D

i can relate to this also. I had always been uneasy about being home alone but it was never a major problem. The older I got the easier it became. But then in my second year of staying at a Student house at university we were burgled/had trespassers in our garden with the intention to burgle. This happened 7 times in the space of 4 months, and it didnt matter whether we had lights on or security cameras. Now i can only feel relatively comfortable id I know the house im in is secure.

I can relate SO much to this - I have a lock on my bedroom door and it's nearly permanently locked.

So, my story is:

I went downstairs, everyone was home, but my brother was leaving to go get tacobell. I went upstairs, signed off of Facebook, went back downstairs, no one was home. I couldn't even find my dog. I didn't even hear anyone leave, and my front door makes a HUGE creaking sound when someone opens or closes it. I started having a panic attack, and crying hysterically. I have been afraid of being home alone ever since.

I told this in class one day, and my teacher made fun of me. :[

Might it be that i have autophobia because I will burst in tears and get in panik!when i have to be alone at home in the dark but i never thought about being killed just about an invador so do i have it or not??or is it because i'm 10 years old?

I am slightly Autophobic. I cannot STAND being alone. At all. I have to have at least a cell phone around me at all times or I get a panic attack. Its HORRIBLE.
