Why are some people afraid to take the elevator?

First, there are too many passengers in the elevator.

Most people do. Three or four square meters of elevators, more than a dozen people under the fortress, people's safety territory fell down. Julie Fast, an American behaviorist, found that when the distance from strangers is less than 60 cm, people will consciously want to stay away from others, such as hiding in a corner and standing as straight as possible to avoid meeting others.

Second, meet the boss

A survey of more than 9,000 professionals by Zhaopin. Com found that 24% of them don't take the same elevator when they meet their boss. 60.3% people will feel uncomfortable taking the elevator with their boss. This is a psychological fear of authority. Such people may be strict with their parents since childhood and afraid of authority figures. When they meet in the elevator, they will bend their heads and curl up as much as possible, hoping to narrow their purpose and avoid attracting the attention of their superiors.

Third, the fear of closed small spaces is called "claustrophobia" in psychiatry.

When they enter the elevator, they will feel inexplicable fear, worry too much about the sudden failure of the elevator, and at the same time, they will have manifestations such as accelerated heartbeat, shortness of breath, blushing and sweating, and trembling limbs. Patients often try to avoid taking elevators, or endure and suffer in fear.

If you are afraid of the elevator because you don't want to get in touch with strangers, then you don't need to correct it deliberately. If you are afraid of the boss and the elevator, then you should try to overcome your fear and communicate with the boss often, so that you won't have such fear. If you are afraid of elevators because you are afraid of entering confined spaces, you'd better go to psychotherapy.
