I went into an elevator to get back to my work desk, & in the elevator, there was a crowd of middle aged women. I immediately noticed that I felt terrified that they would gang up on me & start yelling at me & physically pushing & shoving me while accusing me of sexual harassment/assault. I feel this way whenever I’m in an enclosed space with single/multiple women & I’m the only guy. To disguise my fear I hid my face in my phone & distracted myself by texting until I could get off the elevator.

How do I stop this fear?
