At 16, Kallitxe Nzamwita from Rwanda locked himself in his house to avoid female company. Moreover, he built a 4.5-meter fence around his home.





"The reason I locked myself up and fenced my house is because I don't want women to come near me," Kallitxe explained. He also said that members of the opposite sex fill him with wild terror.



A neighbor said that since childhood, Nzamwita has hardly left the house. But despite his phobia, local women help him survive.

She explained: "It's strange, but we women are the ones who bring him food and some necessary things. When we try to help him, he doesn't want us to come near or talk to him. We throw things on his site, and then he comes out and gets them." them. He does not allow us to come close to him, but still takes what we offer."



Local residents said that every time a confirmed bachelor sees a woman, he runs to his home and locks himself. The man probably suffers from a mental illness called gynophobia - an irrational fear of women.



Symptoms of gynophobia include an overwhelming fear of women, which can be triggered by even thinking about them. This condition is accompanied by anxiety and panic. Patients may experience chest tightness, profuse sweating, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include upset stomach and lightheadedness.
