Social Phobias
These anxiety disorders are triggered by certain types of people, relationships, and social situations.

2.Anthropophobia: This phobia literally refers to the fear of people but can also mean the fear of having company.

3.Aphephobia: This phobia causes people to feel afraid when touched.

4.Autodysomophobia: If you have a bad or "vile" odor, you may trigger someone who has autodysomophobia.
