Actually, it's spelt Claustrophobia and yes, I'm claustrophobic as well. I actually have some serious phobias like Agoraphobia, which is a fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets, or fear of leaving a safe place. It's an anxiety disorder.

From the second website, let's see: Agoraphobic, Agraphobic, Altophobic, Aphenphosmphobic, Apotemnophobic, Arachnophobic, Atychiphobic (I'm sure plenty of us have this one), Catagelophobic, Claustrophobic, Cleithrophobic, Coulrophobic, Decidophobic, Dishabiliophobic, Gerontophobic, Glossophobic, Hobophobic, Illyngophobic, Lockiophobic, Melissophobic, Necrophobic (more like a love/hate relationship), Nosocomephobic, Obesophobic, Ochlophobic, Ophthalmophobic, Paralipophobic, Peniaphobic, Pupaphobic, Scelerophibic, Social Phobic, Spheksophobic, Taphephobic (buried alive), Teratophobic, Tetanophobic, Trypanophobic, Virginitiphobic, Xenophobic.
Some of these are stronger than others. I found it interesting that whenever I saw the word "rabies", I thought it said "rabbis". I was tempted to put down "Wiccaphobia". Also, I'm upset that it didn't list a "fear of cockroaches". I'm okay with most insects, but those bastards are in a category of their own.

Ok, (from http://www.phobialist.com) Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place. Is my main one. For Amalcas, is this what you were talking about? Apeirophobia- Fear of infinity. .... Cyberphobia- Fear of computers or working on a computer. no one on the forums should have that one. And this one Eurotophobia- Fear of female genitalia.Imagine if the person were a girl? Geumaphobia or Geumophobia- Fear of taste. What, you have to eat everything plain? Homilophobia- Fear of sermons. Kathisophobia- Fear of sitting down. Okay, that's enough for the day.

I guess thats as close as I'll get. Infinity fascinates me, but some lines of thought do cause irrational fear.
