Who doesn’t remember the days in elementary school or high school (or this weekend out on the town, for that matter) when you heard the sound of laughter and thought: are they laughing at me?
Well, if you become so overly concerned with such thoughts that it makes you sweat, become still with anxiety, or cause your heart to race, a new CNN article now reports that you might have gelotophobia.
Not surprisingly (at least to me anyway), 14% of Americans – very high on the list globally -are said to have this condition.
