Is it normal that i have a fear of peple?

I have a really bad fear of people. It is so bad, that it keeps me from talking to anyone but my best friend. Even if just one person comes up to me, I freak. I keep on saying to myself, "what if they hurt me? What if they lie? What if they kill me? What if..." Ect, ect. Is that normal?

  • What is a "peple"? People don't just kill people for fun. Besides what happens if your in danger and no one helps because no one knows you?

  • Can't believe anyone has mentioned social phobia yet.

  • I used to be the same way, and I continue to fear others' for their rejections. It isn't normal to suffer this much, but that doesn't make you weird for feeling the way you do. I hope that with age, you will be able to silence those thoughts that prevent you from making friends. Therapy also helps. Good luck!

  • Well then quit being a pussy and saying "what if" just go out there and just talk to people without thinking.

  • Yoo shud Luv tha PEPLE!

    (On a serious note, you could have a social anxiety disorder, or a problem with paranoid delusions)

  • I would say that that is not normal. However I am curious what triggers the fear of people and what specifically do you think about when the anxiety sets in.
