18 Problems Only Claustrophobic People Will Understand

16. You Will Never Play Fight

We've all seen those adverts where the couple are tucked up in bed and to demonstrate how comfortable their £199 bed is, they instigate a slow motion pillow fight to give a visual representation of love and happiness. Try to recreate that experience with a claustrophobic and you might end up with a slap. We all do it as kids where you trap someone under a blanket and pile on top of them. Doing that to a claustrophobic is as bad as locking them in a boot of your car. Kicking and screaming; being held under the blanket or having a pillow submerge your face is enough to trigger an attack.
