Neither can I, Mike. It’s just too uncomfortable, and I can’t even work in a group. I prefer to work alone, and if I do make friends, I’m scared that they will leave.

When I’m in a crowded room, I tend to freak out and rush my parents or whoever I’m with to hurry up. Once, I thought it would be okay for me to hide in the pantry, and after three minutes, my breath became hot and I started sweating. I tried to open the door, but my hands were too shaky, so I freaked out and hit the door over and over again. I screamed till my mum came downstairs and let me out.

I am always scared when I’m in an elevator, especially those made of glass with no mirrors or just walls.

Claustrophobia is the fear of both small spaces and being trapped I believe. I’m not 100% sure on this.
