I have always been a little claustrophobic but lately it has cotton much worse. If I am walking in a crowded hallway or on a bus with someone I get very claustrophobic. Also when I'm under water which to me makes no sense because I'm out in the water alone. Why am I like this? Is it normal?

Hold up... it has COTTON much worse? man that's just not an excusable error....
I always thought that people who are claustrophobic were very odd because I could never make sense of it. But now I get that it's a justified fear. I'm completely the opposite though. I love to be in enclosed places. I get a sense of security and I feel really safe and comfortable. The closer the quarters the better, for me anyway. You probably think I'm crazy! Lol :}
