fear of heights...

after years of fearing heights, ive been finding myself on lots of ladders in the last couple of days...it aint so bad...just dont be stupid...and dont get cocky, or you'll find yourself floating home boy...

 

I think I have a fear of heights, I get scared if I am really high up but I overcome it with my mind....

I have a fear of flying though, always have since I was a tot...

 

i'm afraid of heights only sometimes. i almost shit myself last time i climbed one of those fire-lookout towers in the mountains. but then the next day i was twice as high up on a small rock outcropping and felt fine. i'm really not sure exactly what the distinction is.

 

I get panicy if I think there's a good chance I'll fall. Other than that, I'm fine with heights. Rollercoasters and airplanes and things of that nature don't really bother me.

 

(btw, I think ladders are scary)

 

It's bad luck to walk under them you know.

 

I'm so terrified of heights, I can't even walk up those spiral staircases that are open between the steps and you can see everything that's under you. I've tried really hard to get rid of this fear but can't seem to make it go away no matter what.

 

"Some people have a fear of heights. Not me...I have a fear of widths." -Steven Wright, paraphrased

 

I'm not afraid of heights , but I've got shit balance.
So I can only climb when I'm pissed.

My friend used to hassle me about not climbing mountains with him.
But he fell off one - and died...: (

( BTW thats true - mid 20s - what a waste: ( )

Moral of the story ...?
Fuck knows...

 

That was cool.

 

OK I admit it.He called me a "faggot" and I pushed him off...

Seriously tho , its a bad word , but it was like he had a deathwish.

 

I am so afraid of heights. I have lots of falling dreams

 

i'm teh same way, as long as i have something to hold onto i'm good.. i can't do large windows though, i guess glass just seems too fragile to hold me in

 

I think the Humpty Dumpty nursery rythm got to people and caused a paranoia of heights...
BUT!!!!!

 

I am usually never afraid of heights..only time is when I have put myself in a precarious position on a ledge..then mentally I freak, then I calm down and think my way back...it is not the fall I am scared of, it is the sudden stop at the end.

 

I sometimes have a fear of looking out my window late at night...And a fear of sleeping with my closet open......

Though, I was at Climb Time, this climbing place here, and I got to the top and was scared to let go for fear of falling or my sling breaking...But yet I can't sleep with my closet open...

 

very nice, jer. it's really cool to get over a fear like that.

 

I have what I would call a healthy fear of heights. I have no fear of flying, however, as long as it's in a plane.

 

i can only fly easily if my children are not with me. otherwise i have to do shots.

 

I want to try hang gliding....badly...

how do I overcome my fears..? I mean I am being serious, those are really fears of mine..I am not joking...
