Stop fearing elevators

I hate elevators. Anytime I have to take them, I end up taking the stairs

I really hate this because I know if I ever go to certain places, that dont have stairs available to take, I will be stuck using the elevator.

I really do fear elevators, because I dont like the thought of getting stuck.

Living in NYC where there is a building after another kind of is hard to do when you hate elevators.

I cant work up the nerve to go onto an elevator. I feel silly but I really do fear them.
