Fear of wide open spaces. What is the name of my phobia
by Laurie
(Saint Amant, Louisiana)
I have a fear of wide open spaces. I'm not scared of water, but can't look out into the ocean. I'm not scared of the sky, but I can't lay on the ground and look up at it because it's so wide and open, but I can fly in an airplane and be fine because I'm in a closed in space and feel safe. I'm opposite of chlostophobic. I feel safe being in a closed in space.
