I used to be afraid of elevators. I think this was because:
- I watched some movie where a blind guy almost walks into an open elevator shaft and his guide dog has to save him
- There was an episode of Lassie involving puppies in a pit/mine shaft
- I was in the old court house for some reason had to use the elevator by myself
- Heights/falling are not good… I could feel the bottomless pit underneath me and it made my knees weak.
I’ve no idea when I lost it, but it’s certainly gone.

How did you lose your fear of elevators? I am having a real bad time trying to lose my fear!
I really have no idea. It was a long time ago for me though (when I was 11 or 12?) so maybe for me it just passed with age, or I rationalized my way out of it.
