What is it called to have a fear of being stuck?

Answer 1

If this question refers to the fear of being in a space that is closed in,

such as a room with all doors closed, or in an elevator, or even a

car, if there's a sufficient number of passengers to give a pressed-in

feeling, or a small vehicle with room for only two or three people,

or even a walk-in closet in a house, the name of this dysfunction is

called claustrophobia.

People suffering from claustrophobia often seek treatment from therapists

to become more adaptable to situations precipitating the problem.

Answer 2

Cleithrophobia, Cleisiophobia, or Clithrophobia - fear of being locked in an enclosed space.

Note: Almost always follows claustrophobia - fear of confined spaces.

Answer 3
