i fear the idea of being alone (as in no more friends, family, or anyone else that i care bout or that would care bout me) life would became absolutly intorrable after a while if i was compleltly alone from this point in my life on and that is why i am so thankful i have a wonderful family and why i cherish my friends and the time i get to spend with them.

Oh my gosh! I don't feel so alone now! Everyone of my friends thinks that it's so weird but it is terrifying to me. I don't understand why i have this fear but man, i'm scared to get pregnant because of this fear. I get shaky, hot-cold flashes, dizziness, sweaty, just plain horror. I don't wish this on anyone but i hope we both can get over it! Do you remember anything that could have triggered your phobia? I remember going on vacation when i was younger and my sister would always get sick in the back of the car; i think i felt trapped or something but i really want to end this terrible fear! I hope you don't feel alone, i'm here for you now! :)

Well, I feel someone in the house when I'm alone but I'm not creeped out by it. I believe that my dead grandma is probably here. Even if there IS someone there (a ghost or whatever) in the house with you theres no need to be afraid of it. Welcome whatever is there. Leave it alone and it will do you the same.

There is nothing to fear,but fear itself.I'm sure you have heard that saying. What you need to do is sit down and figure out what it is that you are really afraid of and why. You need to learn to love yourself and realize that you can be your own best friend and that you would never leave you,now would you. Being alone is most likely what you are really afraid of. There are some people and I personally know a few,that just cannot stand to be alone. I used to be one of them.Then one day I had to face one of my worst fears,a person very close to me died and I was then truly alone. It was during the pain of the experience that I learned alot about myself and I found that even without this person in my life,that I was o.k. I started exploring the many different things in life that I always wanted to do or learn to do and started doing them. Life can be a great adventure if you let it be,but fear of the unknown or fear itself stops one from growing and sometimes living life to the fullist.During that time in my life I learned to like ME.The person inside of this body,the inner voice I sometimes hear,my conscience,myself.I learned to like ME.Then I wasn't afraid of anyone leaving me or abandoning me because I was always going to be there for myself,even if everyone else in my life were gone.Because "ME"goes everywhere I do. I now enjoy what I call quiet time when no-one else is around. It gives you time to think about things you'd like to create,explore and maybe even places you'd like to visit right by yourself.Even though you are alone there are always new people to meet. Putting all your eggs in one basket or totally depending on someone else for your happiness is never a good idea. Another person can always leave you for one reason or another and not always by choice. So learn to love yourself and your spirit and you will see that the fear of abandonment will leave you forever.

You can not make yourself happy alone unless you love to be alone.  If you love to be alone, you will find ways to be happy.

a lot of people are afraid to be alone.\nI'm only afraid to be alone here at night, I get all paranoid and a walk around with my gun all the time even if I'm just going to the bathroom.\nI dunno why I'm like that, nothing has ever happened, and I live in a gated community with security...

The dark.  I am 23 and scared to death of the dark.  If I am with other people I'm fine.  But if I am alone I freak out.

It is possible to be alone, without being lonely. I am alone, but far from lonely! I don't fear either one, because I have lots of interests, and friends......don't be afraid to be by yourself....YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON! Learn to love yourself! Good LUck!!

Yes. This happened to me when I turned 18. I was out on my own for the first time. Very scary and stressful time.

yes very much so, i know i have a severe fear of being alone in pools or even my own bathtub seems dumb right? well i find out through dreams and other sources that in a past life i was swimming in a pond and something (alligator i think) grabbed my leg and drown me. to this day i can't stop looking behind my back at pools. draw your own conclusion.

Of course not!!\nWhat is it with all you people!  Thank God I don't live my life in such fear.  \nYou can't enjoy life if you're constantly afraid.  Especially about something as trivial as a date.

That's a really good question, and on the surface not as easy to answer as one might think. I had never really thought about it. \n\nI am known for being a loner in the sense that I don't go  out and do things with other people very much.  Actually, its pretty rare.  I am pretty much a person who likes to stay home, and I live alone, so one could probably say, I am a loner.\n\nBut it's like I told my dad once, "I may be alone, but I am not lonely." I  believe the answer to the quetion  depends on how one feels when they are alone.  \n\nA person who chooses to be alone may still feel lonely. And if he/she feels lonely, they probably are not loners.\n\nMake any sense?

They're not, but it depends on the person. Whether or not you're afraid of being alone or needing help doesn't matter whether or not you're independant. You could be very independant but be afraid of being lonely. I am, and I just except that. If I end up being lonely, so be it, if not, well that's fine too.
