An anxiety disorder or irrational fear of weakness, debility, or becoming weak.
From Greek 'asthenos' (weak) + 'phobos' (fear), describing a phobia centered on weakness itself.
Asthenophobia reveals a fascinating anxiety pattern: some people become so terrified of weakness that the fear itself creates a feedback loop of stress, making them actually weaker—a psychological trap.
