I find this to be a very unhappy phobia. (Not that I think any phobia is great, still this one I find unsettling. This is an anxiety disorder or phobia depending on which expert you ask. This phobia is the fear of participating in activities that might make you happy.
~ You may be afraid that being happy means that something bad may happen and then you will be in deep despair
~ Refusal to participate in joyful events or social gatherings
~ You may feel bad about feeling good

I have never heard about this kind of phobia. Thank you for sharing this!
I’ve never heard of this before, but it must be so awful for people who suffer with this. I just hope they are able to get help and are able to be happy!
I am sure if they seek help there will at least be improvements.
