Once a sage said: " Use solitude, but do not let loneliness use you ." True, today there are a considerable number of people who are related to the second part of this statement. Their fear of loneliness can develop into autophobia.
Life alone
If we talk about how such a person feels, then from the side of his inner emptiness is not particularly manifested. True, in the soul such a person always experiences anxiety, discomfort, boredom. This condition is exacerbated when she remains one-on-one with her own thoughts, reflections on life. Often, in such situations, it is difficult to concentrate on any one lesson. In the case of a more severe nature, thoughts of suicide are not ruled out.
Predisposition to a sense of loneliness
It will not be superfluous to note that almost every person can have this fear. The appearance of a phobia is mainly influenced by the inhabitants of megacities. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish a number of the following factors influencing the emergence of loneliness in humans:
- constant feeling of lack of time;
- uneven life rhythm;
- continuous congestion.
Causes of loneliness
Many autophobes find it difficult to determine the cause of their lonely life. Psychologists say that, first of all, it can hide in the fact of the absence of close friends, a loved one, inability to establish relationships with others. In such cases, it is advisable: to get acquainted with new people more often, to visit public places.
You can not rule out the possibility that in your childhood you were deprived of parental attention, care, warmth, supported by a lack of emotional support.
Moreover, it is possible that a person lives by the stereotypes imposed by the surrounding world. You can get rid of this by learning more and more new people's views on life.
