No liking yourself can be a reason someone hates being alone. Learn to love you.
But being terrified could be a phobia
I would like your opinion

I appreciate all your comments.
The reason I ask is because I started to ponder why it is I have chosen to remain in a certain situation even though it is obviously not working for me. I won't go into too many details but this question came up while I was trying something new----and that something is exciting, bold and exhilirating but very risky. So at one point I realized that the fear of being alone has dominated, subconsciously, my every move. I was wondering if maybe something happened to me in my early infancy that I may not remember but I can sense.
I have a vague memory or dream of my mother, my father and my older sister arguing loudly in our kitchen. I was sitting in a chair and I was silently crying. I think my sister was topless. I dont know if I dreamed that or if it really happened.
Again your imput is important to me. Thanks.

I was raised in a big family and got in the habit of rushing through life like a mad billygoat with too much to do and the music up loud.
Me too! Never could get a moment to myself unless I was in the bathroom. Sometimes, I did have to take a bath with my sister. I couldn't wait to get out on my own; and now that I am out on my own, I find that I get very nervous in crowds. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia; but I think that I just don't like to be around people, and that's just a fancy name given to it so the shrinks can make money.
Oh but I do like loud music, and that's only if I'm playing it!

I absolutely cherish being alone. Sleeping alone. Eating alone, unless with my daughter. Showering alone. Walking alone.
Of course, I do love having the company of others, at times. Yet, knowing that company will soon be gone is a great feeling.

Soledad- I don't know if you would feel this was okay for you or not, but I would maybe see a hypnotist and see if you have repressed memories that are affecting your adult life now. It might help you sort out whatever issues you seem to be having.
