oh I hate heights. I hate them. I also hate the "oh you're afraid of heights lol" people when you tell them you're afraid of heights. heights is a perfectly reasonable fear. if I fall that's it. its over. public speaking you just feel awkward and go on living.

No anxiety of heights for me, it's a very real pants shitting fear.

So I don't like needles, shots, the smell of the alcohol swab, all that.  Sometimes I (used to) pass out and seize.  Well one time at work I was watching a safety video that covered people passing out and seizing and it made me pass out.

Yes.  This one.  I have passed out during shots.

When I am extremely tired but can't sleep I obsesse about getting killed by Farm machinery.

Also gate lines at any sporting events where people aren't ready with their tickets thus slowing down the line.

Like, are you heights people afraid when it's an obviously safe scenario?  Like, that glass floor skyscraper thing, is that scary?

[Tobias]

yes but I use my brain to overcome my mind. when its IRL not safe like the escalator at the K to get to the upper deck I almost go bonkers every time.

i had to sit in the uppers once and i don't recall the show because i was irl terrified of tumbling down

I think not being afraid of heights is a genetic defect.  Like how can you be 200 ft in the air and look over a ledge and just be sleepycat.jpg?

[star seed 7]

It makes me feel funny in my pants. Like climbing the rope in gym class

I feel like such whimp to think climbing the silo (80 feet) used to freak my crap out.

 Ya like I don't get scared or anxiety or anything in safe heights places.  Like anything man made is safe pretty much.

What if a big ass fish comes down and boots you over
