Is it normal that i have a fear of peple?

I have a really bad fear of people. It is so bad, that it keeps me from talking to anyone but my best friend. Even if just one person comes up to me, I freak. I keep on saying to myself, "what if they hurt me? What if they lie? What if they kill me? What if..." Ect, ect. Is that normal?

    What is a "peple"? People don't just kill people for fun. Besides what happens if your in danger and no one helps because no one knows you?

    Can't believe anyone has mentioned social phobia yet.

    I used to be the same way, and I continue to fear others' for their rejections. It isn't normal to suffer this much, but that doesn't make you weird for feeling the way you do. I hope that with age, you will be able to silence those thoughts that prevent you from making friends. Therapy also helps. Good luck!

    (On a serious note, you could have a social anxiety disorder, or a problem with paranoid delusions)

    I would say that that is not normal. However I am curious what triggers the fear of people and what specifically do you think about when the anxiety sets in.
