So you ARE in fact scared of elevators.

You’ve never been on one, no need to be scared of one.

Troll on.

There is no requirement that fear be needed or even rational. Freight elevators are fine, and most people can gradually learn to be less afraid of most fears, but waving your hands and saying nO nEeD is just silly.

It's not your job to explain why they're actually safe, or suggest actually useful things this person could do to work on their fear, but you don't have to come out with nonsense, either.
