Fear of Happiness: Description, Causes and Prevention

“…These reactions appear as interventions to suppress or extinguish positive emotions (Demirci et al 2016).

Existing studies also documented that increased fear of happiness is associated with decreased levels of life satisfaction (Sarı&Çakır, 2016;Türk, Malkoç, &Kocabıyık, 2017).
