Preferred term

social allergies  

Definition

  • A social allergy is an individual's tendency to experience a disproportionately intense emotional reaction in response to a social allergen. A social allergen is a behavior or situation that seems unpleasant or uncivil to onlookers, but may not warrant as intense a reaction as the individual displayed.
