Is there a term in Psychiatry for people who prefer to live their lives in fear?

[Sigblaster]

All these people I see in public seem determined to prolong this covid carp as long as they can. Why? I still people masked at Meijer, in their cars when they're the sole occupant, and even walking their dogs when no one is near them.

I've read news stories and browsed online forums where people are still masking and isolating like it's airborne leukemia. Not high-risk people, just normal, healthy, younger people.

What is this all about, and is there a term for it that can be found in the DSM? I'm genuinely curious.

You sound like you might be phobaphobic. It’s the fear of fear and it’s very really real.

Those people are called leftist libtards. If it wasn’t covitardation, it would be something else. No helping them, just laugh at them and continue on your way.

It's fine by me. I actually like the idea that I can mask up to hide identity, without drawing undue attention, should the situation call for it.

Never know when masking up just might come in handy?

Coming from the other side, it's good that some will telegraph their crazy...

Hypochondriasis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Hypochondriasis or hypochondria is a condition in which a person is excessively and unduly worried about having a serious illness. Hypochondria is an old concept whose meaning has repeatedly changed over its lifespan.[1] It has been claimed that this debilitating condition results from an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical diagnosis.[2] An individual with hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness.[3]

“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”​

Why does it matter? I carry a firearm that I’ll hopefully never have to use. I spend lots of money on firearms and ammunition to train to protect myself and family. Am I living in fear? If I’m not mistaken wasnt it a crime to wear a mask while carrying in a bank that is now legal? If my memory is correct then it’s actually helped get rid of at least 1 firearm law.

I'm pretty sure that those people are referred to as "liberals."

I would say because 1, it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that masks don't work against airborne viruses and 2, wearing a mask (unless you have a valid health reason to do so) is showing that you were indoctrinated during the great plandemic of 2020. It's one thing to be stupid, it's another to constantly display it in public.

I have considered wearing one recently because of seasonal allleries. The spring in Indiana is tough for me, rest of the year is no problem. I don't think it would do much.

My fear concerning masks is this: if for some reason (I can’t imagine what that reason might be) I were to wear a mask, I’d be absolutely terrified that someone I know would recognize me, and then they would be thinking “wow, I didn’t know he was a mindless libtard”.

A guy at work tried it, and he said while it might have helped a tiny bit, it wasn’t worth it, he still sneezed all day. I can see it possibly helping while mowing the lawn.

I just take the Kroger equivalent of Zyrtec to keep mine in check.

How can you say that a mask is proven not to work beyond and shadow of a doubt, but then say “unless you have a valid health reason”? They don’t all work I agree. I personally don’t wear a mask but they aren’t all snake oil. If all of them simply did nothing then why would you use them if you had a valid medical reason?

Those wearing masks driving alone in their cars or while alone on zoom calls (yes I know) we started call them "Maskabators".

Even very early on in the scamdemic, when there were still a lot of unknowns, I remember seeing people driving alone in their cars, wearing masks. Even then, I thought it was the absolute dumbest thing I had ever seen.

I think that particular act, wearing a mask alone in your car, has to be a signal of other, deeper mental issues.

 

[Hkindiana]

I find it sad that a large percentage of those still wearing masks are school age children, which shows that the indoctrination at our schools is real, and that it is working.

Reading comprehension is required. I said it doesn't work for airborne viruses. There are things that it does work for, but airborne viruses are not among those things.

I used to think it was peculiar that so many young people actually thought the human race was in imminent danger of extinction due to man-made environmental catastrophe. Then I saw how easily people were indoctrinated by Covid hysteria.

Covid only had 2 years to f*ck peoples' brains. Young people have been indoctrinated by the "environmental catastrophe" hysteria almost the whole time they've been in school. It's not hard to see how this mental illness becomes mainstream. We probably have at least one in this thread.
