Asked on March 30, 2021 in Single word requests.
I mean the fear of being alone (with the exception of being alone, in a person that is being single
and other
people) but there are many other words similar to
this. The person has two senses at worst and the fear of loneliness is the worse one. Would you use “autophobia” as second meaning?
Is it normal for people to be scared of being alone? If taken to mean literally, it could mean irrational fear of being oneself and is associated with self-hatred. Who’s a better person? Phobia Source.
From Greek autophobia, “self” (see autophoby), “fear of self”, 1844
(as autophoby), from Greek -phobia, fear of that oneself, denoted “self” Related: “Alexigenic; autophobe. Online Etymology Dictionary
Was I wrong?
Is agnosiophobia actually real? What plays have this name, apparently about a man who has a fear of not knowing? Night Terror
Winner: AGNOSIOPHOBIA Written by Jason Gray Platt and based on a play by Giuseppe Giacosa Directed by Rachel Karp Featuring Matt Stango, Marlowe Holden, Jack Gilbert, and Ellie Phillips A man’s curiosity threatens to destroy his family. Can a man ignore who he loves?
The Flea; bold emphasis mine)
While the word might catch up, the word might only narrate if the only argument for using it might be considering
it the opposite of gnosiophobia, the
fear of knowledge.

Asked on February 28, 2021 in Other.
How did you get that teacher’s mind?
What is a hypothesis that we can verify as well?
- Example 1:
not to agreed to take Kevin + they see how well we get on
They want to see how well we get on first they agree to take Kevin. So we have:
First they see how well we get on -> -> previous -> event -> past perfect
(had seen) Second/after that they (may or may not) agree to -> take Kevin -> -> later event ->
past simple
(didn’t agree) The result: They didn’t agree to take Kevin until they had seen how well we get on.
- Example 1:
She didn’t watch television at all. They bagan broadcast signed TV programmes.
Henriette’s first night didn’t watch television. -> -> previous -> event/circumstances > past perfect (hadn’t watched) Later they began to broadcast signed TV programmes. -> Why was -> she unable to watch TV
until we
began to broadcast signed TV programmes. She didn’t see television until we began to broadcast signing TV programmes.
What are the best ways to work with software to create a more productive world?
i agree with the comments that: many variations (including the ones where both clauses are in the same, e.g. The past simple, tense) are correct; until doesn’t have to be restricted to past events (and you can even preserve the logic followed in this post – as in Andrew Leach’s example: They won’t let me take Kevin until they see how well we get on. What
is best I can do.?
