need help but I am scared of help

Does anyone else experience a fear of assistance by people, especially strangers in uncontrol situations. It is as if the rescuer is the predator. People freak me out !

The best way I can describe this,, is say a rescue dog found you but you were afraid of dogs ? So any scenerio which involves a dog (aka people in my case) becomes a huge issue.

It is a social phobia or PEOPLE presence phobia but underpinned by my Autism and life experiences.

Does anyone else have a fear of what pretends to be humanrace out there ?

Seems there is a condition called anthropophobia which means fear of humans.

  • Not sure if this is going to make any sense but I have issues with asking for help, not sure if this is linked to my issues with people and social stuff or because of past experiences - all the "help" I've asked for seems to have been detrimental in some way. i understand the rescuer is predator bit but cannot find ways of descibing it or why it happens.
