Maybe not. I had an extremely traumatic childhood, but I don't get people's fear of being alone either. I don't look to other people for affirmation very often.
Fear of being alone is essentially the fear of being still and quiet, and hearing your own thoughts and feelings. Most people who spend a lot of time alone tend to drown out the silence with TV and radio. Which suggests to me that fear of being alone is really fear of introspection, or fear of oneself.
