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.

  • I don't have social phobia in the sense of being worried about what people think of me, but all my life I have found it really difficult to approach anyone for help, especially illness. I had recurrent ear infections as a child and the first thing my parents knew of it, since I was very little, was when my eardrums burst. I just couldn't / wouldn't communicate I was unwell.
