Are you afraid of heights?

Question

I used to be

Lynx122 · Accepted Answer

I have a basic survival instinct but other than that no. I've jumped from high bridges into the water. I was just at a rope park this summer where I jumped from a platform like 25 meters off the ground just clipped onto a rope. Other people couldn't do it but I did. I still felt fear but I can overcome it when I need to. And it gets easier if you do it a bunch of times. I used to be climbing things all the time as a kid now of course I don't do that so when you're in that situation it's a bit harder than when you're used to it but it was still fun. I wanna do some bouldering if I can but I need to find the time and energy for it.

Yes, I am afraid of heights but I've learned to deal with it. For example, I make sure I'm holding onto something when I'm up high and I avoid going near railings that don't come up to my waist; it would be too easy to fall over the railing if I slipped.

I grew up on 13th floor back in Georgia. I was never scared of heights, however, I wasn’t necessarily looking out for them.

They don’t thrill me. I’d rather be on the ground. But I don’t panic either, I have climbed a building and then jumped down from it during one of my study visits to the base by the ministry of defense.

Yes. I can't even look out of third story windows. Second, I can barely manage if the window doesn't go to the floor. Forget about ladders or glass floors.

Lliam · Answer

No. I don't take stupid chances, but I'm not afraid of heights. Isorta like them.
I've stood on the edge of very tall cliffs, free-climbed some pretty hairy rock walls, jumped off of cliffs into water, gone on ski lifts up mountains, gone up in tall, glass elevators. I went to the top of the Gateway Arch in St Louis. I went up in a two seat, open cockpit, bi-wing airplane a couple years ago and the pilot did aerobatics.
Lots of things.

Yeah I learnt that on a school trip with a zip line. Fun times. Heights have always bothered me since. And even more so in certain circumstances like being able to see through the floor or stairs.

It's odd though as I love flying. I've done flight lessons before and even opening the door mid flight, and looking down didn't bother me. Which is kinda odd.

exitseven · Answer

Yes. I never had problems with it as a kid. I could climb trees and ride roller coasters but once I got older I cannot deal with heights.

I've always been afraid of heights but I've also never let that get in the way of me going to tall places. 🤣

Constatine · Answer

No not  afraid  of heights, but my head thinks it is necessary to make the world spin if I look down and I'm totally out of balance 🤣😂. II that is why I avoid extreme hights...

Flatmanlewis · Answer

Not really. I respect heights and the lethality of gravity but it’s not a fear.

Nope 👍🙂. Highest I’ve been is about 700 ft in the air on a aerial tour of the Outer Banks on vacation with my 11 year old son 👍🙂

msc545 · Answer

I am not - I have gone up 100+ ft sailboat masts to resolve problems with ropes that are used to pull sails up. Nice view from up there.

zagor · Answer

Not unreasonably so, but if clinging to a cliff face, yes.

I was until my teenage years. I overcame this fear by climbing trees.
