Phobia of escalators, iin?

9 Comments

A couple of years ago, I was going to go downstairs in HMV, in town. I decided to take the escalator down, as it was closest to me. While I was stepping onto it, I sort of missed a step, and tripped. It gave me such a fright! I almost fell down a few stairs, but got back up normally, and went on. I didn't think much of it until the next time I was using an escalator. It felt like, and it still does to this day, I cannot step onto an escalator. If I stand in front about to step on, I feel as though I will fall ot trip again because the steps are moving too fast. I just can't use them anymore.

    I prefer escalators to elevators. escalators don't decapitate people! tho, I'd choose stairs over both of them.

    I used to be scared of them too, because my mom told me about some kid who got his foot stuck in one of them and had to get surgery. I also got my shoelace stuck in one of them once.

    I hate escalators too,especially when I go down; I just have the feeling I will step on the edge of the stair,and I will fall down...
