The fear that you have too many college degrees is often referred to as "degree inflation anxiety".
A fear of people with college degrees can be called "intellectophobia".
Go ahead and take as many degrees as you want and ignore the naysayers. If you are not neglecting something or someone, you are fine. Get a psychology degree to better understand those who say you should stop. People are always telling me I am wrong on a subject and that I should prove that I studied an area. I can show the diploma, which I cannot do with a book, even though I still read many books outside the degree programs. I like the structure that comes with a degree program. I have no family and I enjoy the activity. I have many degrees and doing a great deal more degrees is my plan to fill my days in retirement. I find that many people feel you have too many degrees as soon as you have one more than they do.
