Aversion to happiness, also called cherophobia is the extreme and irrational fear of gaiety or happiness because of the belief that when one becomes happy, a negative event will soon occur that will taint their happiness. Those who have this aren’t always sad, but they’re afraid to express happiness. Cherophobia may be caused by a past traumatic or negative experience.  It may also be caused by an intense fear of disappointment.
