How many of you are afraid of heights?

[Johnboy60]

Hi, I hate heights and I even don't like to watch a movie that people are hanging from a building or plane.

I'm afraid of them too. I get very dizzy.

 

[KristianJ]

Not really; but then again I've never been in a plane. However when i've been in tall buildings and looked outside, or looked down a cliff I've never really been afraid.

 

[Biarien]

I get dizzy/queasy/a bit scared sometimes.

It depends on the situation.

I don't really like to take unnecessary risks.

i absolutely hate heights..but went on a plane in March...loved it! the clouds are so beautiful from above them

 

[jeffs_girl_2004]

Not really, it does not bother me as long as I know I am on something solid.

I'm somewhat afraid of heights, I remember going on this one tour thing that took us up pretty high..I got kinda scared >.>

 

[PaladinValer]

It depends; if I know I'm safe, I may get a little queazy, but not too bad. If I'm not sure of my safety, then I do become extremely nervous. Airplanes, rollercoasters, and such like that are fine for me

I am absolutely fine in a 'plane, parascending, cable-car, etc and I am fine hiking up mountains with a steep drop, but rock climbing type stuff scares me.

 

[Moros]

I am not 'afraid' of heights, but I had vertigo pretty bad when I was a kid.

 

[Violet]

I'm deathly afraid of heights

 

[yonderboy]

im afraid of heights below 30 feet - any height where i know i'll likely break something or be crippled for the rest of my life. above about 30 feet, i get strangely brave - think im more scared of being disabled than of dying... i know where im headed in that case

Up until a little over a year ago, I was extremely terrified of heights. But then my high school did its spring musical (we did Footloose). I was dance ensemble and for one song/dance I had to climp a rope hanging over the very front of the stage (it was off to one front corner of the stage). So I had to climb up to a height of about 9 feet (that is where my feet were, not my hands) and then holding on with just my hands, push off the wall and swing around with my feet help out behind me (and other cool poses). I was freaked the first time I had to do it in rehersal, but then it was so fun, I've actually gotten over my fear of heights.

I was never scared of heights a few years ago-i went up the Eiffel Tower (to the top! ). Now though I would never dare. I am ok with planes once I'm in the air, can't stand high buildings with big windows though.

Robert.

I sorta' am.

 

[ChristianTeen]

I would say I am. I don't like being really high. I get scared sometimes.

 

[oldrooster]

I am a charter member of the afraid of heights club......

 

[tqpix]

Count me in as one of the people afraid of heights.

 

[KelliP72]

I watched my Daddy fall off a ladder when I was young. Makes me scared to go up ladders to this day. I'm not too fond of planes either but never really been in a tall building so I can't tell you how I feel about them.

 

[jafosei]

I'm not too bad with heights, but I'm not really comfortable with them. I'm fine in planes or tall buildings where I know there's no way to fall, but I get very careful at the edges of high places.

When I went skydiving last year, it was the single-most terrifying experience of my life. It didn't make me more comfortable about heights, but at least I know I can still function when I'm terrified.
