Phobias?
I was looking through a phobia list/dictionary. There were two that weren't on there that I was wondering about.
What is the fear of depending on / needing someone called?
The fear of never finding love / ending up alone?

I could only find two of the phobias. I found them on Answers.com and provided the link to each.

Autophobia is a phobia (persistent and irrational fear) of being alone. The word is derived from the Greek words autos ("self") and phobos ("fear").
Many people who fear being alone fear being unloved, unwanted, or unrecognized. This fear often leads sufferers to enter into and remain in destructive social relationships. It can also lead them to engage in codependency and self-destructive behavior.[1]
