Ex-claustrophobic needs help -
March 2nd 2011, 03:45 AM
For most of my life I have been extremely claustrophobic to the point where being within a foot of another person or even in a car I would be borderline freaking out. Not too long ago I really worked on getting over it. For the most part I have gotten over it. One thing that I haven't gotten over is I can't get myself to make physical contact with someone. I like this girl and we hang out all the time... but I can't get myself to even hold her hand. I was hoping I could get some advice on getting over this. Thanks in advance.

Does being claustrophobic really keep you from having contact with other people. Just because your holding hands, doesn't mean that you have to be sitting directly on top of each other.
I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm having a hard time understanding this. I've never been claustrophobic (except when in big groups and elevators). Try counting to ten. Or taking deep breaths. That usually helps me when I'm in the places previously mentioned. But, make sure she feels the same way first. Don't scare her off.

Does she know you like her? Does she like you? If so, you can explain that you have issues with physical contact and ask to work through them together. If you're just trying to put a move on her and don't know whether she feels the same way, try what Shannon Ashley said: count to ten, or take deep breaths.
