Watched Arachnophobia last night and made me wonder

Autophodia is also fear of self (Auto=self,phobia=fear)

Actually it's "fear of being alone"

Fear of Being Alone Phobia – Monophobia. Monophobia is the extreme or abnormal fear of being along. Many people as well as animals are known to suffer from monophobia and it is not an easy fear to overcome.

Autophobia also has another sense, that of an irrational fear of oneself, intense self-fear that is groundless.

Autophobia, also called monophobia, isolophobia, or eremophobia, is the specific phobia of isolation; a morbid fear of being egotistical, or a dread of being alone or isolated.[1] Sufferers need not be physically alone, but just to believe that they are being ignored or unloved. Contrary to what would be implied by a literal reading of the term, autophobia does not describe a "fear of oneself".[2] The disorder typically develops from and is associated with other anxiety disorders.[3]--WIKIPEDIA

Well, I guess the experts just disagree on this one.
