Dear lybrate-user. I can understand. Do not panic or think too much into this. Anthropophobia or Anthrophobia literally "fear of humans" called interpersonal relation phobia or social phobia, is pathological fear of people or human company.

Yes, it could be anthropophobia. There seems to be a fear of inadequacy too. You are indeed unique and there is no one who is going to be like you, ever!

This latter may have happened due to an actual rejection which you may have experienced very early in your life. The solution to this is a matter of genuine self-acceptance or self-love. I am not talking about narcissism: this is a genuine love of yours...more

Avoid oily, more spicy, chilly and junk foods.
