Additionally, a person with scopophobia may often be the subject to public staring, possibly due to a physical disability. With scopophobia, it is likely that the person was subjected to public ridicule as a child. On the other hand, as with most phobias, scopophobia generally arises from a traumatic event in the person's life. Most phobias typically fall in either one category or the other but scopophobia can be placed in both. Scopophobia is unique among phobias in that the fear of being looked at is considered both a social phobia and a specific phobia, because it is a specific occurrence which takes place in a social setting. Another related, yet very different syndrome, scopophilia, is the excessive enjoyment of looking at erotic items. Many scopophobia patients develop habits of voyeurism or exhibitionism. Sociologist Erving Goffman suggested that shying away from casual glances in the street remained one of the characteristic symptoms of psychosis in public. It is not considered indicative of other disorders, but is rather considered as a psychological problem that may be treated independently. Scopophobia is also commonly associated with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Specific phobias and syndromes that are similar to scopophobia include erythrophobia, the fear of blushing (which is found especially in young people), and an epileptic's fear of being looked at, which may itself precipitate such an attack. Scopophobia has been related to many other irrational fears and phobias. Though scopophobia is a solitary disorder, many individuals with scopophobia also commonly experience other anxiety disorders. Other symptoms related to scopophobia may be hyperventilation, muscle tension, dizziness, uncontrollable shaking or trembling, excessive eye watering and redness of the eyes. The symptoms of scopophobia include an irrational feelings of panic, feelings of terror, feelings of dread, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, nausea, dry mouth, trembling, anxiety and avoidance. Often scopophobia will result in symptoms common with other anxiety disorders. Some examples include: Being introduced to new people, being teased and/or criticized, embarrassing easily, and even answering a cell phone call in public. Several other triggers exist to cause social anxiety. Individuals with scopophobia generally exhibit symptoms in social situations when attention is brought upon them like public speaking. Ophthalmophobia comes from the Greek ὀφθαλμός ophthalmos, "eye". The term scopophobia comes from the Greek σκοπέω skopeō, "look to, examine", and φόβος phobos, "fear".
