What is masklophobia?
Some people in the comment section explained that they also have the same fear which is called masklophobia.
According CPD Online:
"Masklophobia, also commonly referred to as maskaphobia, is an extreme and overwhelming fear of masks and costumes. Masklophobia is an extremely individualised phobia, in that it manifests differently in different people. Some people are afraid of all masks, costumed clothing, costume characters and mascots, whereas other people’s phobia of masks is centralised on a specific type of mask, such as horror masks, religious masks, masquerade masks or medical face masks.
"Masklophobia is most commonly found in children. This could be because children often find it difficult to distinguish fiction and imagination from reality, have difficulties recognising familiar faces and facial features until the age of six, and find it difficult to rationalise their thoughts and emotions. Masks, particularly when paired with adult-sized costumes, can result in extreme fear, anxiety and panic."
