Fear of Isolation

Fear of isolation is an emotional response characterized by the anxiety or distress of being separated from others or feeling disconnected from social support. It often stems from the human need for connection, belonging, and acceptance. When someone experiences this fear, they may worry about being alone, rejected, or unsupported, which can lead to avoidance of relationships or increased anxiety. This fear can affect mental well-being and influence behavior, sometimes prompting individuals to seek reassurance or social interaction to mitigate feelings of loneliness and maintain a sense of security.
