For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with a paralyzing fear of most elevators.
I’m not quite sure where this fear was born, for I have never had a traumatic experience inside of an elevator, nor have I ever become entrapped in one.
In my early to late teens I would actually ride in a strange or new elevator, although I never felt completely at ease. That feeling of unease became powerful enough to the point where I began to slowly and steadily avoid elevators altogether.
