I don't have the fear of staying alone as discussed here, but I agree with the person who states, people who suffer panic and anxiety are people who strive to be perfectionists. I note that with myself. I hate it if my hair is not perfect, etc. I also note that I am a person who hates confrontations and have a hard time saying no to anyone. I was always worried what other people thought of me. I am finally, in my older years, getting better at that. In the long run, it doesn't matter what other people think. It only makes you crazy.
