Do you have cloister-phobia?
Also what is the opposite of cloister-phobia? Humor welcome. Can you give me more info on this obscure phobia?

None here. The opposite of cloisterphobia is roisterphobia and the oft concomitant affliction boisterphobia. The clammy consequence of oisterphobia is however unrelated.
Fear of a cloister of nuns is completely understandable.
Opposite would be demons, or minions.
Not sure which I’d find scariest actually!
^^^ I put it to you that you are confusing the stated topic with claustrophobia/agoraphobia.
@RedDeerGuy1 “info on this obscure phobia?”
Browning’s Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister provides a mere morsel of insightful historicity in its mealy-mouthed meandering. For sheer pertinence I muchly prefer:
Obloquy of the Mannish Foister
Oh, those melons! when she’s able
They do form a feast; so nice!
Both go to the Abbot’s table,
All of us get not a slice.
How go on your flowers? None double?
Not one fruit-sort can you spy?
Strange!—And I, too, at such trouble,
Keep them close-nipped on the sly!
