An abnormal fear of human beings or of human society; a pathological dislike of people.
From Greek anthropos (human) + phobos (fear). Created in 19th century psychology as scientists developed systematic names for specific phobias.
While not a clinical diagnosis, anthropophobia describes a real psychological struggle some people experience—and the word itself, scary-sounding and scientific, can ironically make people more anxious about their fear.
