Hedonophobia
Hedonophobia is an excessive fear or aversion to obtaining pleasure.[1] The purported background of some such associated feelings may be due to an egalitarian-related sentiment, whereby one feels a sense of solidarity with individuals in the lowest Human Development Index countries.[2] For others, a recurring thought that some things are too good to be true has resulted in an ingrainedness that they are not entitled to feel too good.[3] The condition is relatively rare.[4] Sometimes, it can be triggered by a religious upbringing wherein asceticism is propounded.[5]
