Claustrophilia

Claustrophilia is the liking of small, enclosed spaces. It comes from the Latin "claustrum" ("enclosed space"), and the Greek "philos" ("beloved friend", to philein - "to love").The influential author and scientist Isaac Asimov was a well-known claustrophile.Perhaps better known is the condition's antonym, claustrophobia.

I hide in the closet for quite a while just now. Ate one whole bar of chocolate. And I'm convinced that I am Claustrophilic.
