Kelly was claustrophobic.

Of course, she didn’t know that. She didn’t even know what claustrophobic meant.
Not-very-blissfully unaware, she simply avoided the subway, most alleyways, rooms without two exits, corners, small grocery stores, compact cars, buses, airplanes, and -for her entire life- the game of Hide and Seek.
It was when Kelly mentioned how even seeing skinny jeans made her hyperventilate that a sales clerk clued her in. “Skinny jeans make everyone short of breath,” he explained, “Especially those wearing them.”
Kelly smiled in relief, purchased a muumuu, and walked the five miles home to her open floor plan house. She felt happy.

You have no idea how much I can relate to this! I love wearing huge tee shirts, and I do NOT like sitting in a flying can of sardines!

I’m just here to say “muumuu.” ๐ More seriously, I do feel for those who have claustrophobia. I occasionally had an uncomfortable feeling when surrounded by many children. Nothing too severe but enough to notice.

Mine doesn’t usually hit till I’m enclosed, like a train going through a tunnel.
