I've always had a fear of elevators for some reason, as long as I can remember. I have no idea why. It's kind of ironic because I live in a seventh floor apartment, but I just want someones opinion...should I be? I know, it sounds ridiculous
:P

Lol, I had been taking the stairs for about ten months before I twisted by ankle two weeks ago ... so I've been forced into taking it :( These elevators have had a lot of problems, that's why I'm more edgy that I'd usually be ...

Yep Nathan, 79 to be exact :P That's how bored I was one day, I actually counted the stairs while I was going down ... 13 on each floor. I have a lot of other fears, but I don't have to confront them so often ... one time I went up and down the stairs eleven times in one day ... stupid laundry room, never on a normal timer those machines ...

Don't be afraid, unless you notice there has been numerous problems with them. Any way, what is meant to be will be.

Is not ridiculous, many people are afraid of elevators for claustrophobic reasons.
The elevators in general are very safety specially the new ones, but the less time you spend inside them the better.
Remember if you get stuck in an elevator don't try to open the doors and wait for help.

No, you shouldn't, but everyone is scared of something. Don't beat yourself up over it. If that's the only issue you have, you're doing pretty good. However, if you don't want to ride the elevator in your building, you may want to move to a lower floor. That's a lot of stairs to climb on a regular basis : )

oh man i hate elevators. if i were you i'd just get a little exercise in and take the stairs! but if you live with people, and you get stuck on an elevator then you probably wouldnt be in there for long. unless of course a wire broke and you plunged 6 feet into the abyss..... j/p lol i'm sure you'll be fine but dont worry they creep me out too

I'm afraid of them too, I hate that feeling in my stomach when I go up more than a couple floors...and I'm always scared it will just fall or stop between floors and i'll be trapped forever or maybe when the doors open there will be nothing there and i'll fall to my death in a bottomless pit...

Elevators are very safe. Even if they have trouble, there's extremely little danger other than maybe being stuck until the technicians come open it.

maybe its the height or the fear of enclosed spaces or the fear of being trapped that is your problem. elevators have so many safety features on them there is no reason to fear the elevator itself.
