Cherophobie

Cherophobie (engl. fear of happiness; aus altgriechisch χαίρω chairō, deutsch ‚ich freue mich‘ und φόβος phóbos, deutsch ‚Furcht‘) bezeichnet eine Aversion gegen das Glücklichsein oder auch eine Angst davor, glücklich zu sein.^[1]

Ihre individuelle Ausprägung und kulturelle Beeinflussung sowie ihr Zusammenhang mit psychiatrischen Krankheitsbildern wie Gefühlsblindheit und Depression wird gegenwärtig mithilfe psychometrischer Methoden erforscht.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Beispiel

Friedrich Schillers Ballade Der Ring des Polykrates behandelt das Thema, dass größter Erfolg umso gewisser tiefen Sturz befürchten lässt.
