The idea of having monophobia, though, almost seems to be redundant because we all have some form of it. As humans, we are hardwired to seek for companionship, whether it be a friend, family, or a significant other. Monophobic shows this fear and lonely feeling by putting the center marimbist into a position where they are playing alone, causing a sense of distress or even despair. When the rest of the players come back in to support the monophobic player, though, it signifies the embrace of friendship and kinship and how it can bring positivity and assurance to our lives.
