need help but I am scared of help

autismtwo

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 find people a real stress. I avoid most people, more so if I there are other factors stressing me out (filling my cup). However I also need solitude and thats theraputic. I find people a bit of a blank. I don't know how its going to go in a small shop so I avoid going in. I prefer not to ask for help. I try and do things on my own with the help of research on the net. This can make me very stressed if it is something I am finding hard or very challenging. Generally I find it very hard with people.
