Gelotophobia

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gelotophobia is a term derived from two Greek terms, gelos (yελως) meaning "laughter" and phobos (φοος) meaning "fear", to describe people who have a fear of being laughed at. While most people do not like being laughed at, there is a sub-group of people that exceedingly fear being laughed at. Without obvious reasons, they relate laughter they hear, such as in a restaurant, to themselves and are uneasy. Since 2008, this phenomenon has attracted attention from scholars in psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and has been studied intensively.
