How have you been limited by a fear of heights? How many things have you been unable to do? How many times have you avoided things or been embarrassed by this condition?

I hate heights.
Even when I was a kid when we had bunk beds. I hated sleeping on the top but prefered it to feeling like I was in a coffin on the bottom bunk
I will avoid climbing anything taller than me :lol:

I don't know if I've been limited by my fear of hights but I've certainly been laughed at.
When ever we drive over tall bridges I have to slump down in my seat so that I can't see out the window. I'm also afraid of mountains/large hills. I'm not sure why, but I am.

I hate my bunk beds. I've rolled off them so many times because I get really bad nightmares. I also get pretty afraid when the bunk beds don't have safety bars on them.

I don't have this phobia, but being somewhere high makes me nervous, eg, looking over the top of a tall cliff (even if there is a thick, high metal railing)

I hate cliff edges too but I think that comes from when I was a kid I lived on the coast and my parents and grandparents took me for walks along the cliffs. I always think I'm going to slip or the ground is going to give way or something!!!

I know lots of people that are scared of any ride in an amusement park. Once i went to disneyland and one person had to just watch because they were so scared. It must be very difficult when friends love them and want you to join them.

I'm a 5'4 ft adult male.........so I actually have an envy of heights!

I hate going to amusement parks with friends. They try so hard to get me on the rides and I just end up crying because I'm so afraid. I'd die if I ever got on one!

Lol. :lol: I know what you mean!
I'm 5'3 maybe 5'4, but then again I'm only 16. I don't really want to be too much taller.
I enjoy my shortness!

I think its probably best just to stay away from amusement parks because people always try to get you to go on a ride if they know you are scared. I know it sound pretty cruel but im sure its true. I actually get a kick out of being scared on a ride which I know is weird lol!!!

I do stay away from amusement parks for the most part.
Sometimes it's nice to go though; I love the cotton candy! :lol:

Yeah I loved the smell of the onions cooking by the hotdog and hamburger stalls See there is always something good that comes of having a phobia, they go on the ride while you stand there eating candy floss :lol:
