elevators

i fucking hate elevators and every tiny jerk or shudder makes me seize up even more because i am so horribly afraid of being trapped in it and eventually dying of suffocation
or gravity
I get this as well, although I'm more paranoid of them suddenly falling.
I don't have any real phobias, but I have a lot of irrational fears, such as thinking that there's going to be a big tornado whenever it's really windy outside even though we don't get huge ones here. Whenever I'm in some sort of vehicle as well (especially if it's a train) I always get this small paranoia that it's going to crash. And another thing, I
hate watching people breakdance or perform stunts or just generally do dangerous performances either in real life or live on TV because I am absolutely terrified that they're going to injure themselves. When I was on holiday one time there was this guy in the entertainment team who could do backflips and every time he did them on stage I was
terrified that he was going to land on his neck and snap it and I always found myself tensing up when he did them. Sometimes I'd just look away, a small part of me anticipating the sound of people suddenly screaming and panicking.
...in other words, i seem to fear the worst all the time
