Anthropophobia or Anthrophobia^[1] (literally "fear of people", from Greek: ανθρωπος,ánthropos, "man" and φόβος, phóbos, "fear"), also called interpersonal relation phobia orsocial phobia, is pathological fear of people or human company.Anthropophobia is an extreme, pathologicalform of shyness and timidity. Being a form of social phobia, it may manifest as fears ofblushing or meeting others' gaze, awkwardness and uneasiness when appearing in society, etc.^[2] A specific Japanese cultural form is known as taijin kyofusho.^[3]Anthropophobia can be best defined as the fear of people in crowded situations, but can also go beyond and leave the person uncomfortable when being around just one person. Conditions vary depending on the person. Some cases are mild and can be handled while more serious cases can lead to complete social withdrawal and the exclusive use of written and electronic communication.Like most phobias, anthropophobia can be traced back to traumatic experiences. Since social phobias are more complex than a fear of spiders or other organisms, it is believed that this specific phobia of people may be due to genetics or heredity. 

antropophobia ? Because I'm one of them. Maybe my friends didn't know it because I have been trying to erase it. I have been trying to hide all of my fears for six years yet I haven't changed at all.

I tried to hide it from other peoples. When I am afraid, I will grab my bestfriends' hands tightly and they would calm me by saying something such as " it's okay .. there is nothing " or they would say, " look at that " to make me distracted from the fear.

I have been hiding all of this since I am seven years old. I have noticed my sickness since I was six years old - when my nose bleed and my breath uneven when I met my mother's friends. I hide it from my family. And I wrote this not because of needing sympathy or something but because I want everybody to stop talking for awhile.

Saying that I am cold or arrogant without even knowing me. Peoples, I am afraid. If you're that kind to befriend with me, why don't you ever take a minute to look at my eyes when I walked past the crowds ? When I stand during the assembly ? But you never did that and just said something rubbish that doesn't even make sense.

What ? I am arrogant because I never talked to the seniors and juniors ? Did you know that deep inside me, I want to and I really want to. But it is just hard for me to even smile to my family members. It seems like they are still strangers to me. It hurts like hell when I thought of them like that. 

I am cold because I never smile to you ? Do you ever smile to me ? This is a world where, when people gives and you replies. But you never gives so how do I reply ? Please, I'm just too tired to fight. Today, my nose bleed because of my fears. After two years, it came back.

I always felt like the air around me is suffocating me whenever the crowd pushed me around. My hearts beats like crazy, my fingers trembles in fears when I just look into a stranger eyes. I'm too tired, to even protect myself anymore. If you peoples keeps on accusing me of something that I didn't even know, just stop it please. 

Now, I will make promise to stop being this slave of antropophobia because it is tiring and frustrating. That's my promise to change, will you people who talked bad about me change too ? Please, we have try to change. Stop being a person who always deceives someone who they doesn't even know.

Just ask my friend if you didn't believe my words. They are my supporters who always holds my hands when I was about to faint because of the fear. They knew what am I .
