A combination of two words:
1) Emo (an abbreviation of the word emotion) and;
2) Phobic (an irrational fear of or aversion to something.)
Emophobia occurs when someone has a phobia of creating negative emotions in other
people.
(Emophobic
parents are possibly the catalyst to the entitlement generation.)
Jack is such an emophobic parent, whenever his
child, Sophie, doesn't get what she wants she starts
crying and Jack suddenly caves in and gives Sophie
whatever she wants.
Joe suffers from emophobia, whenever he has to confront someone at work on a difficult subject, he always tries to avoid dealing with it.
