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.
