Is there a condition where people feel happier ‘higher up’ (w/ other influences accounted for) and inversely slightly deflated lower down?

Is there a condition where people feel happier ‘higher up.’ (w/ other influences accounted for) and inversely slightly deflated lower down. I don’t mean high heights I mean several inches higher maybe a few feet. But not high heights 🙃

Soooo after I slipped on ice carrying a heavy package and tore a ligament about 6 months ago, I’ve been strictly wearing sneakers whilst my leg healed. The other day I went back to wearing super thick soled boots bc of super slushy weather weather and I immediately perked up. I completely forgot how much happier I am higher up. This isn’t about being “taller” relative to other people but rather elevated relative to my normal level.. I also since childhood have always loved 💗 high beds, high chairs, high tables..

Just wondering if enough people in the world experience extreme shift in mood from height elevation they it had been recognized as a condition 😂

I haven't been able to find a condition or syndrome wherein people prefer to be higher up, or lower down for that matter. There must be a name for it somewhere, but I can't find it yet. LOL

Sometimes, yes. A taller shoe will, literally, perk up my step.

I've never experienced it because the highest shoes I ever wore were boots with 1.5" Cuban heels, which aren't all that high. I doubt if extra height would have any effect on mood.

I'm not afraid of heights and have enjoyed climbing things like trees and rock walls, going up in glass elevators, going down ski slopes, or standing on things that are very high up. I guess it makes me happy because it's fun and sometimes thrilling to be a mountain goat. "Top of the world, ma!"

Hmmmm interesting question I would say I have felt this before but I think it’s because when we wear higher up things like this, we feel more dressed up. I think that’s why high heels are viewed as a dress up shoe because feeling elevated makes you feel and look for formal /dressy.

  I’m sure there is something to that, I def feel happy when I dress up but this is a height thing like if I stand on my scooter I immediately feel happier similarly to thick soles. Plus lol
  These shoes are not fancy they are falling apart bc I left them outside by accident. I’m getting a new pair now that I’m pretty much healed. They are great for wet weather bc the water puddles don’t reach the shoe portion 😊

  Serotonin lol riding a scooter creates serotonin hormones unless if you are scared of them of course but yeah I’m getting technical, but from my experiences I always feel more dressed up when I’m elevated

  I definitely agree it’s serotonin that’s the point of the post. But I’m really talking about elevation. My shoes look grungy atm it’s not something pretty, but they put me higher up it hits. They are basically like standing on a block. I mentioned the scooter bc the height difference is similar to the shoes, if I stand on (not ride) the scooter I’m as high up as I am when wearing the shoes. Being elevated is exciting and freeing. Being dressed up is fun but very confining. It’s a completely different sensation for me 😊

  Yeah I think we just associate being higher up as a better feeling. Like climbing a mountain and being on top of it or even being head of your department is the same feeling

possibly. maybe it's like the feeling people get when driving a big ol' truck and being higher up, than when they're in their normal short little cars. I've felt that before. :D Maybe it's the different perspective when you're up higher, and able to see more that makes it so "exciting". Who da heck knows. I'm ususally stuck down low with the other 🥔

Hmm. Well, I do enjoy driving automobiles that have a higher ground clearance. That's the closest thing I can think of. Haha

Makes sense that if some people are afraid of heights, others would love them

Yes, there is such a condition. It is called "height exhilaration" - a feeling of happiness, confidence, pride and positivity. It is the opposite of manletism.

  Maaaaube but I’m probably not higher up enough for that kind of change. What I wonder tho is if I was 8 feet tall wouid I feel happier @ 8.6 feet or is part of it in relation to being higher up relative to most human structures. Don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

  W/ my shoes 6 feet 😛 so yeah I’m wondering is if more fun bc I hit more upper level human structures (not buildings just normal stuff like doors cabinets see over cars etc) if I was 6 feet would moving up to 6.6 with shoes be more fun or too much. Maybe more fun bc part of it is just the new perspective, even in a field with nothing around it’s more fun to be taller, I wonder if there’s a height where it’d just wear off tho like 9 feet. Or maybe not if I were hanging out with elephants.

  I'd imagine. I mean I don't know from personal experience but when you're oxygen starved it probably makes you hallucinate all kinds of goofy stuff. 😄
