Man Watches Claustrophobia Videos And Feels Uncomfortable

[@SuperTittays]

The video with "The Coffin" is an obstacle course for sewer/underwater technicians. In order to get licensed, they have to complete the entire course, which includes lying on their back and pushing themselves through the 35ft long "coffin" which is pitch black and has 3 inches between the water and the cement ceiling. I think the people who do that for a living are a totally different breed (we do pay them very well, deservedly so).

[@jadlad9666]

The last one reminded me of a sewer which raises another question: why on earth would you want to put yourself in not only a tiny space, but a tiny space filled with *poop water* ?

im not claustrophobic in the slightest but you’re right about the not get stuck instinct. i’ll gladly chill in small spaces but the second i cant leave of my own accord i get nervous and uncomfortable

[@netabolt6546]

my claustrophobia is getting more worse over the years; right now i hate toilets in public places and if i need to go to the deeds i'm scared of beeing locked so its always open. even in my own house i dont close the door of my bathroom, no way! elevators for me are just boxes from pure nightmare hell i always hated them. always took the stairs. the part with the mirror, i totally understand. when i have panic attack and i cant escape i would also find this terrifying. and yeah, instinct is another i feel. i had nightmares were i got stuck in a small cave and couldnt get out.

[@S1LLY2012]

facts.

[@deathbypanda0221]

Cliethrophobia is a name used for the fear of just being trapped, which I’d say most people are more aligned to compared to the more irrational fear of any enclosed spaces (claustrophobia). I’ve always thought “oh yeah I’m just claustrophobic” because the thought of being buried alive has been my worst nightmare for some time now. But I’ve really figured that I have the fear of just being trapped, because on the other hand I could easily do the enclosed elevator gig.

[@lovelyxjimout917]

omg same

[@BaldCoryxKenshinfan]

I feel like I have claustrophobia then. I can’t EVER be in an elevator. They creep me out cuz i feel like I’d die in there. I don’t want to be trapped and the enclosed space makes me nauseous and dizzy. 😭

[@jac8680]

When you were talking about the elevator and how there’s that “someone will get me out of here one way or another” feeling, and the feeling of being “stuck” as opposed to just being in a small space, that really put a finger on a weird feeling I’ve had for years. Moments where I’ve gotten stuck under my bed trying to reach for something or gotten locked in a small room or got stuck in a narrow space behind something I’ve always had that kind of instinctive claustrophobic feeling but I’ve always just been able to rationalise and tell myself that even if someone has to disassemble my bed or break down the door or destroy whatever I’m stuck behind, they can get me out of here, and I just stop panicking. It’s moments where there’s literally nothing anyone can do to get you unstuck that are so terrifying, like the idea of jamming yourself into a tiny crevice in a cave and having no way back or forward, and nothing anyone can do to get you out of that situation. That’s what hits the hardest for me.

[@buggyboy586]

The hellhole for me

[@lesliemartin3]

There was actually a women who went missing in the 80s or early 90s that once found it was determined that she had squeezed behind her bookcase to plug in her tv and got stuck. Because her family's home was a horder house and very cluttered and messy, she apparently had been slowly dieing from constrictive suffocation and couldn't shout on account of the position of her lungs. After several weeks her sister had gone into her room to see if she could find a note or any clues as to what may have happened. She happened to look in just the right area and finally saw her sisters foot and realized where she'd been. After she'd been found and taken from the home several news stations conducted several interviews and because the questions were all based around asking the family how they could have gone so long without noticing her in her own bedroom, there were many factors that contributed to the difficulty that lead to her passing. According to her parents they had unfortunately acquired a horrible rat infestation on account of all the piles of junk in the house. Anytime the daughter may have banged on furniture or rattled any nearby walls they simply blamed it on the rats. They also never seemed to notice the odor of decomp since the home was rife with its own odor that seemed to never let up. Just an awful situation for everyone and the story has always stuck with me. Your post made me think of it right away.

[@seaweed1068]

Not many things make me feel as physically ill as cave exploring videos

[@Danosauruscrecks]

I don't think I was born with this phobia, but I think it developed when my sister locked me in a Christmas ornament box accidentally while my mom was in the shower so it took a pretty long time to get me out

[@deborahtheassistant71]

Bruh those ornammenr boxes are tiny asf

[@moofey6900]

I don't have the phobia, but sometimes when I get somewhere really tight and I can't move, I get really uncomfortable and panicked. But that's just kind of a natural reaction, and I wouldn't consider getting stuck somewhere one of my worst fears. However if I had to choose between the "cave" side of claustrophobia, and the "elevator" side of it, I'm definitely way more freaked out from the cave videos.

[@Danosauruscrecks]

@@deborahtheassistant71 trust me I know

[@Danosauruscrecks]

@@moofey6900 for me it's not really the small space it's being locked or stuck in it when I have not chosen to be there. Like if I lock myself in a tiny room I will be fine, but if someone else locked me in a would lose it

[@rhys1264]

Ha! Similar thing happened to me, it was one of those IKEA tubs, I was eight or so, and I folded myself in it and my younger brother locked it. I had a baaad panic attack until I was let out.

[@soyburglar77]

Back in 2017, I was arrested because of an administrative error by the office of my former probation officer and had to ride in the back of a “transport van” for 4 days. The entire time I was in the back of this tin can on wheels, there were no windows, no fresh air, there were 8 of us (with 5 of us being pretty big dudes) in a cabin designed to hold 8 people max, and the entire time our hands were cuffed and shackled to our waists. I challenge anyone to be put into that scenario without it turning into a literal nightmare at some point.

[@sereinsilvers7383]

With the elevator one for me it's more about heights. I would just be imagining how high up i am...like the drop below me. That's what would freak me out.

[@Textilenerd123]

if it makes you feel any better, no elevators are built to hang on their cables. There are extensive catching systems so it's pretty much impossible for an elevator to plummet. Unless you're in like a really really really sketchy one but almost no elevators like that actually exist or are in use anymore. It's far more dangerous to try to get out of a stuck elevator than to wait. (ie never try to get out if the elevator is in between floors, this is how the vast majority of elevator deaths happen)

[@Darkmoon331]

@@Textilenerd123 thank you. This actually helps me a lot lol. I'm not claustrophobic but I just hate elevators for some reason like, I get uncomfortable being inside one and I don't know why. And the weird thing is that this 'fear' developed recently, I don't know what could have started it

Claustrophobia and agoraphobia go hand in hand. Agoraphobia is a fear of open spaces, but also a fear of feeling like there is no escape or being trapped, whether it be literally or figuratively.

[@william04021999]

Literally the first clip has me hyperventilating

[@lordxango4217]

I'm fine with small spaces as long as I have freedom of movement, the caving is the only one that gets to me, it's not like an elevator or door that can be disassembled to rescue you if you get stuck, if rescue team just happens to knock the wrong rock loose or drill and dig wrong spot, you're absolutely screwed.

[@burp7542]

One time my little brain thought it was a good idea to hide in the cushions of the couch and try to scare someone but my SISTER easily noticed me and she blocked me from getting out so I almost cried out of fear because I thought I was gonna die.

[@pod6679]

As a child i would seek out small spaces to feel safe, I'd regularly read in empty cupboards or lie under beds. As an adult I am very deeply claustrophobic, to the point where too tight of a shirt can make me panic. I miss the days of feeling safe instead of crippling fear.

[@leannezezeski-sass2773]

This is the only actual phobia I have. I can handle heights, I’m not afraid of any type of bugs, and I love swimming in the water but I can’t even handle looking at pictures of people in tight spaces. I had a full out panic attack from that buried alive movie, in fact I’m not sure if I can even watch this video all the way through. I might have to sit this one out

[@Tyriad_]

My fear with the cave and *especially* the ice one is that whatever is above you will shift and just totally crush you. Also the point about the elevator being a good indicator is really interesting to me because, while i don't have claustrophobia at all (been caving, to an extent), i *am* terrified of being trapped somewhere and not able/allowed to leave. For instance, i was in the ER for a little over a day and was fine but had to wait for tests to come back before they'd discharge me and i was almost having a panic attack for the entire last like 10 hours. Prison or psychiatric hospitalization sounds like actual hell to me (irregardless of all the actual hellish stuff that happens in those places) I'd take a tight cave over that any day.

[@vitoriaaa_]

The tape one is a perfect example of cleithrophobia vs claustrophobia. Cleithrophobia is the fear of being trapped instead of a fear of small spaces. I always thought I was claustrophobic until I discovered Cleithrophobia was a better term for how I feel

i’ve been avoiding watching this one tbh, because although i’ve experienced a lot of my thalassophobia over the years with your content and looking up pictures myself, i haven’t looked into my claustrophobia. i have traumatic experiences with both, but the claustrophobia one feels… more traumatic. picture a 9 yr old trapped under a mattress while my friends climb all over me, unable to move, no one hears me scream (they’re loudly playing), and i can barely take breaths as they crush my chest and the only light in front of me letting air in keeps closing. that’s what i call trauma lol

[@stormhunter2627]

but! i’m finally watching it because i know i can’t let this control me. the combination of my two worst fears, which would be cave diving, is already hard enough to watch, but i need to get through this because i love your vids, Greg! keep making more stuff, if you ever read this, been such a huge fan since your thalassophobia stuff started 😊

[@stormhunter2627]

with that guy who had the panic attack, i think i would’ve started it right where he did. get through the cave to the open area, then go back to a smaller area and the adrenaline wears off. even that open area, even just watching it, i feel like i can’t breathe and i’d know i’d have to squeeze through to go back up the way i came in and i’d feel like i can’t do it, feel trapped, and spiral. i get him, and that Hellhole video has me all kinds of fucked up

I'm asthmatic af and already struggle with breathing normally on a good day.

That last one reminded me of this time during the halloween season when I was a kid. I went to this church thing and they had built this massive dark maze in the main part of the church out of hundreds of taped together cardboard boxes. You had to crawl to get through it. It felt like I was in there for a long time. At some point I came upon a more open part of the maze where the ceiling was high enough to sit up. There was a group of older kids in there with a glowstick, talking about older kid stuff. They said something to me I can't remember. Now that I'm older I realize how much it took to set that whole thing up, how cool it was, and how well whoever came up with that, understands kids.

When you go to have an MRI they ask you if you’re claustrophobic. I always say no, I don’t think I’m super claustrophobic, but I definitely have an anxiety disorder. So when I get brain scans I’ll have my eyes closed the entire time because I know if I open them my body will freak out, even though I know I’m safe. It can be freaky because you’re not allowed to move, so you can pretty much only move your eyes. Sometimes your arms will twitch. It’s kinda like a sleep paralysis thing. Super loud, scary noises and not being able to move.

Used to climb trees as a kid nonstop and maybe because I wasn't exposed as often to heights my body/brain started to fear it? I am glad though that I am working through it slowly 💪🏻✨.

I always thought my mom was crazy for getting claustrophobic in elevators. But one time I went to a city museum with some friends and we decided to go through this underground cave tunnel they had in the floor. I was in the middle of the group and the walls were tight, like a cave from these videos. All of a sudden, I started PANICKING. I was hyperventilating and sweating because instinctively I felt like a trapped animal with both exits blocked in front and behind. It was probably the most "primal" monkey brain sense of fear I've ever had. Cave divers must be able to turn off that sense somehow because it was not fun 😩

[@yourluckieday6868]

I don’t think I was born with this phobia but I think it developed when I was locked in a small bathroom when I was like six or seven and it took a while to get me out. I was on vacation with my parents and I thought they’d left me there in the bathroom
