Scopophobia or scoptophobia (from Greek σκοπέω - skopeō, "look to, examine" and φόβος - phobos, "fear") is an anxiety disorder characterized by a morbid fear of being seen or stared at by others. It is related to Ophthalmophobia (from Greek ὀφθαλμός- ophthalmos, "eye"). Scopophobia can also be associated with a pathological fear of drawing attention to oneself.
