Do i have a phobia? What's it called?

• i think i might have a phobia but I'm not sure. Often when I'm in crowded places or really close to someone i have difficulty breathing and get really nervous and anxious. Sometimes the place doesn't have to be that crowded . e.g. our school corridor is reasonably big and there are a couple of people there (2 or 3 people) and i start getting really nervous and have to force myself to breath properly. Sometime i just don't breath till i get to a less crowded place. When i near someone they don't even have to be paying attention to me .e.g. when I'm in a classroom and I'm sitting next to someone. if i do have a phobia , what is it called?

• Answer:

  You could still have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed places) Although you could have general anxiety disorder or even xenophobia (fear of strangers)
