I really wanted to know and ask you all if you find this normal. At work I have to wear a necktie. In winter i can just wear a sweater if i so wish without a necktie. But in summer neckties are manditory. is it normal when wearing one to become extreamly claustrophobic? To become short of breath and begin to panic. The tie is even on loose and not tight. I just get really tence and when around larger groups I get freaked out and cant seem to breeth. However without a necktie around large crowds i'm absolutly fine. IIN?

    Get a new job if your boss is forcing you to wear a necktie he is less concerned with your value as an employee than with your ability to conform to arbitrary and obsolete standards of dress.

    I grew up going to church with my parents my entire life and I have always felt that way when dressing up for church with a tie. I couldn't stand it and I made that known to them but they ignored it and said IDK what I'm talking about because I was never diagnosed as claustrophobic. Its defly normal dude.

    I know what you mean. I wear my tie a lot tighter if it's cold out and it's always a trade-off between claustrophobia and a cold neck.

    Like Gems said, there are clip-ons.

    But actually, I have heard of that before.

    I feel like that with shirts that have a tight neck hole. It's not that tight but I still feel like I'm suffocating.

    I've had a few friends mentioning they feel the same.

    That's not claustrophobia. Obviously.
    You're afraid of asphyxiation..

    Channeling a lynching?

    There are the clip on styles for neckties and bow ties.
