    I have a fear of elevators too but it's much bigger than yours. The fear makes me envision worst case scenarios and really overrides logic lol

    I'm always on my toes when I walk past a group of black people ready to leg it if I see any unusual movements.

    Nope, I don't use them at all. Last time I stayed in a hotel, the best they could do for me was the 8th floor, and I took the stairs every time. I wouldn't even know how I would react on an elevator any more because it's been 10+ years since I used one.

    Listening to music with earphones or headphones with my eyes closed. Anxiety kicks in bad if I try to listen to music with eyes closed.

    I can't think of anything.

    I fly a lot and have worked at extreme heights and confined spaces. I really do not fear much of anything the more I think about it.

    I get an uneasy feeling while I'm around an airplane. I think it's just the fact that they are much bigger than I am but if I'm inside of the one Im fine but if im outside near one it makes me very uncomfortable

    I have an extreme fear of spiders and I am not talking about tarantulas or big spiders, it can be as small as house spiders and I always find myself running passed them or going a different way entirely just because a spider is there! I do not know why as I am fully aware they cannot hurt me

    Elevators have had a fear of them since I was a kid. Hate when people say "oh is it because of that movie devil?" lol

    I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when I look up in big buildings with a high ceiling. I think it's cause of a dream I had when I was little when I looked up and the ground under me broke and I fell.
