But what about claustrophilia
Is agrophobia the fear of farming?
Think you mean agoraphobia.

claustrophobia sounds right. there are a very significant amount of horror and thriller films that seem to centre on protagonists with agoraphobia, oddly enough. i can think of at least 10 or so off the top of my head
What if you are both agoraphobic and claustrophobic? :hmm:

Claustrophobia because that is the fear of small places, the opposite of fear of open spaces which is spelled Agoraphobia.

Agrophilia is a concept in architectural theory that value agrarian aesthetics in Greek architecture.

Then you're both agoraphobic and claustrophobic. They can overlap.

Not really, just need to find the middle ground of not too open and not too closed.

No. People that are agoraphobic and claustrophobic aren't necessarily afraid of everything else.

but if you are afraid of enclosed spaces, and afraid of open spaces, then what else is left? a space that's just the right size so as to induce maximum relaxation and serenity?
