Is there such a thing as the OPPOSITE of Clustrophobia?

Surely there should be a mention under flooding about how the body (human body) is only capable of producing a certain amount of adrenaline, and how eventually the claustrophobic person(claustrophobe?) will not bbe fearful an longer? LiAm McShAnE 19:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as a "closet claustrophobic"? klenk 16:06, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Do you mean someone who is only afraid of being in closets? Or someone who is claustrophobic but won't tell anyone because they're "in the closet" about it? Or is this a joke?  :) SAH 7Oct2005


My parents just found out I was Claustrophobic, I am 24 years old. Just never thought to tell them. I have lived in the country for many years so it was never an issue till we went to NYC. So I guess there is a such thing as a closet Claustrophobic. Unknown 19 Oct 2005

Any advice on a good place to learn more about Claustrophobia?

The statement about claustrophobia being the opposite of agoraphobia is incorrect; agoraphobia is not, as it is commonly believed, a fear of open spaces.

The statement about agoraphobia needs to agree with the agoraphobia page.

I only get that feeling of being closed in when someone of authority is around me.
