I sometimes wonder how much the fear of something is actually an additional problem to the thing itself.<p>NOTE: I am not denying agism exists, I&#x27;m wondering about the additional problem of fear of agism.<p>The fear that someone might be agist, might make you look at them judgmentally&#x2F;suspiciously.  If you look at your interviewer judgmentally&#x2F;suspiciously they likely won&#x27;t hire you, and they probably feel pretty suspicious about you.<p>If you walk into an interview and say, &quot;I know I&#x27;m old, and you probably won&#x27;t hire me because you want a young person&quot;, well, obviously they won&#x27;t hire you because you sound depressed.<p>Again, this is not to say that some people aren&#x27;t agist, even if the candidate shows none of these signs.<p>I&#x27;m just wondering how much of factor the fear of agism is, compared to agism itself, on a regional level.  Are there any people who do clinical studies here?
