Proditiophobia
Proditiophobia—[proh-DIT-ee-oh-FOH-bee-uh]—is the intense, irrational fear of betrayal. Derived from the Latin proditio (meaning betrayal) and phobos (Greek for fear), this rarely mentioned phobia reflects one of our deepest, most primal anxieties: losing trust in those closest to us. Imagine this: you’re in a relationship or friendship, but that voice in your mind keeps whispering, “What if they betray me?” That’s proditiophobia at work, holding you back from fully trusting, because the fear of betrayal feels stronger than the bond itself.
