I am, but it's one of so many fears that it's not the biggest issue I have.

Small places don't bother me.

It's probably a natural fear that everyone has: I'm scared to death of being in spaces that give me only a few inches all around me, or getting stuck inside such a space, like when exploring caves. One of my nightmares is being buried alive (yes, I about flipped my shit when I saw Dean wake up inside his coffin in "Supernatural" ).

Elevators, closets, cars, etc? No problem at all. I get social agoraphobia more often than claustrophobia. Except for the tiny-tiny space version of claustrophobia, that gets me.

I am but I don't let it show. I tend too just watch my surroundings a lot.

Yep. I freak out a little but I'm not SEVERELY claustrophobic, which some people have a hard time understanding a legit phobia versus dislike.

I don't "love" or even "like" small crowded spaces, but they certainly do NOT bother me. I fall asleep in MRI machines and have worked in a space MOST people would get claustrophobic in, so my option is not on your list.

No, but my mother is and it's always an adventure if we get caught somewhere packed with people, or dark, or enclosed... She has gotten better with it over the years, thankfully. MRIs are still on the "I need drugs to get through this" list for her, though.

I am uncomfortable sometimes in tight spaces but it's normally not noticeable.

sometimes if I'm with lots of people in a small place, but it doesn't happen usually to me. I remember one time it was bad, but it was a combination of my anxiety and stress in the situation.

I'd be closer to agoraphobic.. afraid of large and or crowded places. I love small places you can just hide in.

The only time I feel claustrophobic is if other humans are sharing said small space with me.
Other than that I don't mind them at all, and they make for interesting bondage scenarios if you're careful. =)

Just in small areas or all dark areas too.

I wouldn't say I'm claustrophobic per se, but I really hate crowded indoor areas - outside at least there's usually room to go somewhere else. As for small spaces, I do well enough so long as I know I can come back out again with no issue.

It seems the option to move away makes all the difference with me, now that I think about it. I know some people who can't handle small spaces regardless.
