Being alone, No civilization. Not in the sense of having no friends, no family. No, that’s not my biggest fear nor what scares me most. Being alone completely.
For example: Even just watching zombie apocalypse movies, gets me scared. I’m in general a sensitive person, so I always put my self in that position. Of being completely alone. Everyone in the world either dead or infected.
The impossible
One of the movies which very much triggered my fear was “The Impossible” movie. Not only am I incredibly afraid of tsunamis, but I found it terrifying, how the characters there, were alone, stranded, no civilization, no people.
The city over the countryside
I researched the fear of being alone, being afraid of being away from civilization. As my fear is so large, that when I am away, in the country side, I feel uneasy, uncomfortable. As im away from civilization, most people. That’s why I like big city, where lots of things are going on, where there are millions of people. As in places so deserted, like countrysides, make me feel afraid.

When you’re lonely, you feel unhappy or sad about the quantity or quality of social connections in your life.
