Acrophobia - Getting Over a Fear of Heights

How does one deal with a specific fear? I try and get over my fear of heights by getting in a tiny plane and watch my friend Kent skydive into the Orange County Fair.

Being scared of height is natural. It's not like being scared of clowns. Humans are not meant to be hundreds of feet above ground. It's a natural instinct to keep us alive. I just wish I could look down from the 2nd floor. Damn!

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Lol I hate clowns!

[@gruzin6714]

[@Edisto.801]

Well there is a certain tribe of Native Americans who have no fear of heights, and as a matter of fact they helped build the New York Skyline in the 20's, 30's, and 40's

[@mehitabel1290]

Sadly, most acrophobics would agree that they have no trouble in aircraft. It's when they're on a structure which is fixed to the ground, or to itself (e.g the mast of a large ship) that they struggle..

[@Tamajyn69]

Mehitabel totally agree. I enjoy flying but I can't even go within 10 feet of the windows of the building where I work on the 27th floor, balconies over about 5 floors are out of the question

[@Fishlord136]

I'm only afraid of falling, because I kind of get a sort of vertigo when looking down from a really tall place, but only if there is nothing to keep me from falling, such as a railing or a window

[@elggulol]

Mehitabel Yeah im only afraid if there is no walls or etc around me like standing on a fence or somthing makes me dizzy and shit

[@samiee931]

I love flying or going in gondolas because it’s a sturdy thing; i can’t however go up high and look over something like a edge of a building and I hate that elevators too the rising and falling just makes me think it’ll just drop; again a fear of going up in something I feel is unsturdy

[@georgejacob3162]

The free-fall does not feel like falling at all. The air pushing against your body makes it feel as though you are floating on a bed of air and that the ground is coming up to you. It isn't scary at all.

[@rbagel55]

Phobias are weird. I'm not so afraid of heights, but everytime I go swimming in a deep swimming pool, I still get a creepy feeling. What happened to me was when I was 5 years, my older brother and his friends were tormenting me by throwing me in the deep end and yelling "OPEN UP THE DRAIN, SUCK HIM DOWN" They wouldn't let me out of the pool, and I could barely stay afloat, I couldn't really swim then. They did this for like 30 minutes, till my dad caught them, and beat brothers ass. I was just a little boy, and I was screaming my head off I'm 50 now, and even though I more or less got over this years ago, I still get that creepy little fear for a second or so everytime I jump into the deep end of a pool. Phobias are burnt into your subconscience mind

[@tesscrelli783]

Whenever I'm in a high place and I look down, my head gets dizzy and I feel like I'll tip over the edge, so I step away. I also keep being plagued by thoughts of what it would feel like if I jumped over. Windy? Cold? Would I be afraid? Also, what sound would I make when I hit the floor? Would it hurt?

My real feeling is, if you were actually scared of heights, you could never sit next to that door without freaking out. I will say this though, I am genuinely scared of heights and tried parachuting to overcome it. I did approx 25, 2000 ft fixed line jumps and was shitting myself at everyone. After that I started AFF course, ( only did one jump ) jumped from 13000ft, two instructors by my side ( not strapped to anyone ) and considering I am petrified of heights, the feeling of height and being scared completely went once I was able to get out the door and into free fall. Ive never felt so confident and comfortable. Awsome feeling, pulled at 5500ft and had a great fly round, brilliant. Watching a youtube video of someone skydiving freaks me out, but well worth thinking about if you want to try, good luck. Couldnt carry on because of work etc.

I hate climbing ladders, looking over a balcony, standing on the glass floor in the CN Tower, even turned down a $20/hr window cleaning job, but I love flying in a plane and I want to skydive one day but still afraid of height. Skydiving looks like a roller coaster ride...but I hate the climbing that hill part.

[@grammerlyki1823]

oh shet the comment is old but I also wanna sky dive

[@georgejacob3162]

If you want to skydive without the height then try Indoor Skydiving. You just walk into the wind chamber and go into a free-fall position. An instructor will help keep you near ground level. You 'free-fall' for about one minute and all at head/chest height. The Indoor 'free-fall' feels almost like the real free-fall. Check out my Indoor Skydive video on my KZbin channel if you like. Doing this helped give me the confidence to do tandem skydives.

[@wallamazoo01]

All y'all comments are old, but ladders specifically are something I cannot do unless they're fixed and caged. The loosest ladder I'll climb is one on an RV. No mobile ladders for me. I'm having to convince the wife to let me build a cage ladder for our home just so I can clean the roof and gutters.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I used to be afraid of heights as a child. For some unknown reason, that fear went away. This was one of the somewhat rare instances of a fear vanishing for no specific reason. I never gave myself a "going to face my fears by climbing a tall tower" push. It was just, one time I was up in a tall place, I was terrified. And then, the next time I was up high, which was many years later, I wasn't.

[@rbagel55]

I had to do it for my job, I do AC work, and a lot of condensing units are on rooftops, so yeah I got used to it

I became afraid of heights after I was on this balcony about 2 stories high and someone bumped into me, causing me to trip and fall off the side. Thank god I caught the bars otherwise I would have fallen. To this day, I don't know who bumped into me and who pulled me up because the second I looked down and felt the hand around my wrist, I blacked out. I'm still terrified of heights and anxiety, doesn't help. Every time I go near something high I tremble and literally with start having an anxiety attack, just like that. It sucks.

[@MartyEliBowerMusic]

I never had a trigger for my acrophobia, it just seemed to happen when I was about 15 years old and has manifested since. Now I can’t even go up 3 flights of stairs without going into intense panic. I don’t know how to fix it at this point. I really hope I can as it affects so many different parts of my life

[@sartanko]

I went to an abandoned factory once, and some rooms spanned several floors and had stairs and catwalks across, and I was hyperventilating up there and my knees were shaking. I don't think going up in an airplane would help that.

[@violet720]

I’m afraid of laying down and looking up on the tire swing while being pushed high! It makes me feel and look like I’m falling into the sky, and that take off flight music.. Stranger Things?

I'm afraid of heights, because when I was like 7, my papa had a heart attack, and he was still driving us to Yosemite, and a few times, he started having trouble breathing (after his heart surgery, on the way to Yosemite) and we almost drive off the cliff, and I've been afraid ever since

[@summervv2776]

Story time: While at the rides with my cousins and family. They saw something they wanted to try. It was called the drop tower. They wanted to go, but I didn’t because 1. Fear of heights 2. Anxiety and 3. Well I don’t know. I saw my twin sister going with my aunt and I didn’t want to feel left out so I went with them, which was a bad choice. As you some may know drop towers are a surprise. You get left high in the air for a few seconds get dropped back down like lighting. When that happened things my body was going through was a freak out, an unexpected, a beating heart and the height which ended up me almost passing out. Good thing I didn’t, but my eyes did roll in the back of my head. Would definitely not go on it again.

[@georgejacob3162]

Well done on facing your fears! My parents tried to instill their fears into me including their fear of heights. For 45+ years I have been living within my comfort zone because my parents have ALWAYS lived within their comfort zone. This past year in particular I have been getting out of my comfort zone and done the things that I should have done years ago such as skydiving, zip-lining, bungee jumping, aerobatic flying and wing walking. Almost all of which can be seen on my KZbin channel. To my surprise I have found that for me personally a lot of these 'dangerous' activities are not as scary as I thought they would be! Doing loops while stood on the wing of that old bi-plane is just a walk in the park for me!

[@SpindleAWebb]

Won't do Seattles Space Needle, terrified of air aerial trams, I won't go anywhere near an edge of a cliff. I paralyze and my anxiety goes through the roof, it's absolutely uncontrollable. No way would you see me sitting so close to the edge of the plane. My fiancee and I went to Palm Springs and we tried the Aerial Tram up the mountain. Just watching it go up from the lobby, I froze and started freaking. I think I know the roots coming from my early childhood.

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

SpindleAWebb While I was scared out of my mind, there was something very liberating when it was all over. Like I took that fear and told it to piss off.

[@joshbarreras7255]

My own life is always a movie in my whole entire universe. This is why I don’t fear of heights no more because the view part reminds me of a 3d realistic animation CGI background.

[@allykatzrgood4823]

I have no idea what triggered my fear of heights I guess watching people die on rollercoasters and airplanes on youtube videos did it, 7 years ago I rode in a helicopter and it was so fun. But now, If I ride in a helicopter I get so scared I almost hyperventilate. Any advice or tips to get over it?

[@emilystevens6055]

My fear of heights began about four years ago when I went on a camping trip with a group of friends. There was a climbing wall activity and we were all taking it in turns. It was my turn, I was fine climbing the wall at first until my natural fear of heights kicked in and I told the instructor I wanted to come down. He said that he would only let me down if I got to the top of the climbing wall. I pushed myself a little further and asked to come down again, he still refused. I had a panic attack and I still had to keep climbing. Eventually he decided he was pushing me too much. He let me down and I was in tears. I have been extremely afraid of heights since. Even if I watch videos of someone being up high I get afraid. I am going on my first plane next week and I have to go on six planes for my holiday. I am deciding to watch videos of people in high places to numb my fear. I am also using a VR headset to simulate being up high. I really want to go on this holiday but I am still scared. Edit: I am also afraid of having nothing underneath me. So being on a plane is gonna be terrible. I literally have nightmares about it.

[@gsm3982]

I dont think anyone has as bad heights phobia as i do , like i wouldnt take an escalator down in an open area !!! But taking planes feels extremely safe though and calming to me ! Its definitently not a thing to trigger your fear just enjoy

[@MrReasonabubble]

I have to say, that instructor sounds like a dick! :) I think your experience is quite common - you feel ok, and then suddenly your natural fear kicks in, and it can be paralyzing. It's how people end up stuck halfway up climbs, unable to go any higher and unable to climb back down.

[@sekainiheiwa3650]

The day of the eclipse I was looking at the sky to see if it looked darker but I feel anxious.

I am "afraid of heights", but not jumping from a plane. Sky diving was not that bad for me, granted I had faith the guy strapped to my back knew what he was doing. What scares me is working on a scissor lift, or walking beams like iron workers do. I would love to be a shipfitter, but I don't know how to keep my fear in check.

[@georgejacob3162]

PenguinPlays. Good for you! Baby Steps mate! Baby Steps! I got this mad idea in my head last July to do a skydive. The idea would not go away and was driving me nuts! I knew that I HAD to do a skydive and had to do it soon to get rid of the idea but I just could not do a skydive straight from nothing. I had to do other things involving heights so I did 2 zip-line rides and 2 Indoor Skydiving sessions and then I did a 10,000ft skydive in September. I was deathly afraid before the jump and ended up doing the jump 2 hours after my name was called but it worked out OK for me because by then all fear had gone and I enjoyed the skydive from take off in the plane to landing under the parachute. After my skydive I thought 'How can I top that?' and ended up doing a Wing Walk on top of an old bi-plane! My zip-line, skydive and wing walk experiences are all on my channel to view.

[@lily6448]

Slime.Trippy definitely don't quit!!

[@belamiable5598]

Back home in Europe,I used to climb trees, secret accessing abandoned building, playing and smoking weed with friends on roofs.For some reason,since I moved in Usa,in a flat state with barely small hills,I been developing fear of height. I experienced few days ago in the zoo, a zipper game, called the soaring Eagle.I was paralyzed from fear ,but I didn't show it,since I was sitted with a friend.I wonder why I developed this fear.

[@yes-pu9zs]

I had a panic attack just watching this.

[@tinderbox218]

It's one of those fears that would diminish if you faced it enough. Like if you became a roofer for a living you'd lose the fear pretty quickly.

[@ZixerBunny]

i am so scared. so scared that even if i stand on a chair it gets scary. when i was on london eye i stoped breathing. i have no idea how to overcom this. anyone got a idea?

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Try taking small steps like looking over a bridge or going on a 3 story rooftop and work your way up.

[@ZixerBunny]

Oki will try. thanks!

[@rbagel55]

Zixer Bunny Fears and phobias are only overcome by facing them

[@ZixerBunny]

Yeah already tried. working on a tivoli for the summer maby i can go to the highest thing and maby i will owercome the fear

[@rbagel55]

Zixer Bunny I don't think you get over them %100.. Read my comment about my "swimming pool phobia"

[@mays.5895]

Today I drove my family to Mt San Jacinto State Park, and on CA-243 just passing 3000FT, my legs were trembling and I couldn’t drive, we had to turn around back home :( it’s sad to think that I would never drive to vacation cabins in mountains...

[@jacobperry4463]

I thought they were gonna throw him out ;-;

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Jacob Perry that would have made for an even better video. So you want to get over a fear of heights, rule number 1, learn to fall.

[@Comissar_Carolus]

You have to be connected to the earth to have the acrophobia kicking in, I have severe acrophobia but I did a fly over Mont Saint-Michel in a microlight, so just a seat, and we went just to 1000 m and at no point did my phobia kicked in, the pilot told me that was because we were flying but If I stood on a tower my phobia would immediately kick in because it is connected to the ground.

[@mtails1425]

I'm scared of heights

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Mtails142 how bad is it?

[@mtails1425]

+Lost In Discovery even time I go on a gondola I always think that I'm gonna pass out and die

[@joshbarreras7255]

Not anymore for me because I’m only Everywhere in my whole entire universe

[@josheayy4359]

That view looks amazing i really want to sit in that plane now

[@Laciesgrl33]

Hey at least you made it up to the base of Half Dome. I can’t even make it 5 ft off of Yosemite valley floor let alone Half Dome.

[@Rock-ck7ms]

I have a fear of heights, but i actually conquered it by climbing the cables of Half Dome. I got scared about 1/4 the way up the cables, but i just stayed focused on climbing and the grip. I was so happy! Whole trips took 12 hours and 20miles, and then I had a beer and a pizza ^___^

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

The Rock great job. Those cables freaked me out. It didn't help that there was a rattlesnake next to a post 25 feet in.

[@ohyeayea3205]

I have acrophobia and I did the most dangerous roller coaster in my country lol

[@seurn7801]

I'm afraid of the heights because I don't trust myself. I know I'd probably do something stupid, out balance myself, and fall to my death.

[@exorbitantnoise9895]

I can fly no issues at all. Planes and helicopters don’t bother me at all. However I cannot do sky scrapers, roller coasters, or even elevators on buildings above 5 stories.

[@charttrader3605]

It’s not so much the heights, it’s trusting what ever is keeping me up…

[@aaronwhite9487]

2 things are going to happen. The 2nd thing is entirely up to how you respond to extreme stress and panic. Like climbing ladder. Youll realise the growing consequence each rung up. The fear will lock you up if you let it. And then from there you either take just one more step. Just one more step. Or you straight panic and you gotta eventually talk yourself back down. It comes down to F this or im doing this.

[@bearbrain1123]

I started Parkour and free running... i know it'll be a good couple of months before my best mate pushes me to climb some buildings.. but I'm afraid when that day comes... I'll still be so scared of any height... i hate it a lot and worried it will get in the way of my parkour/free running anyone got any tips?

[@joshbarreras7255]

Me too dude!

[@corybeddington2934]

I love hiking in high elevations but earlier today I tried to climb a fire tower and I froze, started breathing heavy and got dizzy.

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Sorry to hear that. Is this a normal reaction or something new?

[@Samar-kf6ms]

Plant Powered Strength today i had to go to a rock climbing place with lots of obstacles and we also went 20 metres high and had to jump of and now i have my new fear of heights

[@nameseatcats5811]

There was like a slide that is really high up- it was really good but I didn't got to slide down it since I started shivering and crying- I started being scared of heights when I fell off my neighbors stairs- it was like a bit tall 7 steps maybe?, Since now I'm afraid to go there 😬

[@Leehensman]

I used to be a roofer/steeplejack for Cobsen & Davies, went out drinking one night got hit by a car, had 14 bones left in whole body that weren't fractured or broken also put me in a coma for two years and wheelchair for life, weird thing is when I woke from coma I learned I was absolutely petrified of heights, made no sense, few months after discharge I decided to do same thing and try a skydive to get over fear, had done a few prior to being paralysed so had good contacts, long story short jump went well but still petrified of heights.

[@creepycherry6785]

Everytime I look down something like standing on a balcony. Even when it is on Tv or something. I love climbing heights but everytime I look down when im climbing my feet get cold my stomach has a weird feeling . That even happens when I just think about it.

[@playboyibro5225]

I’m afraid of heights bc mind I’m only 10 I went on drop tower 2 times the 1st it was amazing i wasn’t scared but the second time I said I wasn’t ready then it just went flying up

[@boarsin3544]

gosh, this fear just destroyed the possible joyful memories i might’ve had if only i wasn’t so afraid of falling. :(

[@2010alleycat]

fear of heights....suffer bad from anxiety and went up a mast climber 21 floors today...had to do halfs an hours work on each floor......got to admit when i reached the pinacle...the rest seemed like childs play....not easy though

[@dog6108]

I have thalasphobia and acrophobia but the pictures off the heights and the under the sea /ocean doesn't scare but real life only it gives me the chills

[@publicenemy1405]

I went zip lining last summer. I was on an about a 7 by 7 triangle tower. You could climb up via rope ladder or rock wall. I chose the ladder, and by the time I got up there, I thought I was gonna puke over everyone. What's worse, the wind was blowing hard, and the mothaflukin' tower WAS SHAKING. I jumped off and it was hella fun though.

[@mowler8042]

I don't know why planes do not seem to bother me its crossing bridges or being close to a window in a tall building.

[@unknownmunoz6963]

Im afraid of heights but love looking down when im on planes

[@stevemiller4292]

This tells me to get over my fear of heights I should always wear a parachute and be guided by an experienced person

[@vibr9nce]

I'm over pathological I'm even afraid to stand on my bunk bed ladder and my feet completely fit on the parts where you stand on I need serious help

[@red_wing]

Sometimes when iam on a floor of some high building i feel like my legs are paralyzed from the permenant fear

[@ferrarolareine2166]

I'm fine as long as there are high railings and stuff but when you can just lean forward a bit and possibly fall from the tiniest mistake, I start breathing heavily and need to go to low ground. However planes are fine because my mind knows it is safe unlike sitting on the bleachers on a sports game. The steps are steep for me ;-; and I have to hold onto the seats

[@BluePumpkin91120]

Me to bro I have a fobia of heights I'm going on a plane some time maybe in the future and I wanna get over it

[@GERARDO1343]

And I was scared of jumping off the stratosphere in Las Vegas 😎 probably the only thing I'm afraid of is the drop of Doom in six flags magic mountain in L.A.

[@joshbarreras7255]

I went on my 21st birthday exactly my first time.

[@joshbarreras7255]

Oops I mean and rode on Medusa at SFDK tons of times in the row

[@krnfx1970]

Same I can’t just get over the fear of heights

[@krnfx1970]

Flip I’m even more scared

[@najmgamer4172]

Ever since I broke my arm, Heights make me physically dizzy and fall on the floor and makes the floor feel like it's shaking.

[@justblaze1656]

I was high on a building and I passed out and fell, So Painful... many bones broken

[@istinkofpoobut5602]

I'm so scared of heights, that when I'm inside somewhere with a really high ceiling, I look up, and I'll start getting dizzy and terrified even though I'm at level ground, anyone else?

[@midcenturymodern9330]

I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of something failing and me falling. I can fly in any size aircraft, but I can't climb a stupid ladder two stories up. It's so weird.

[@ethanviolet1]

i want to get over my fear of hieghts now, because i might join the military and i dont want to be scared doing the jump thing at basic

[@ethanviolet1]

Unfortunately, i dont have a plane, or a master parachuter.

[@nutellatubby1943]

I'm afraid of heights due to falking off the swings as a kid and landed on my neck, then 2 to 3 years later, I fell off a ride at the CA state fair

[@Idea1sm]

I get dizzy and nauseous when I go high places i could be even just like 3 metres off the ground and get these feelings I cry when i go high it's not looking down it's like a change in atmosphere I'm honestly wanting to get over these fears but every time I go up I feel sick and nauseous :( I dont feel like I could do it

[@fartmaster716]

So everyone just suddenly got this in their recommendations?

[@Yen-dc7nn]

There's a footbridge in a city i commute made up of metal. I have no choice but to walk there coz thats the way to get to train station. Everytime i have to brace myself coz i always feel the vibration and shakiness from other people walking on the bridge. There's a time i went alone and i have to ask help from a stranger to hold me because i have to shut my eyes while walking or else im gonna panic real hard and i cant panic on that same bridge lol

[@javascriptsophie4958]

Is it werid that I love climbing but also deathly afraid of heights seriously I can't even look down from the 2nd floor of my house without getting super scared.

[@GTASR2PACTAJS]

I’m perfectly fine on solid ground like high buildings, airplanes etc but once I’m on something unstable like a high ladder I get really scared because I feel like I’m going to fall. I also get really scared if I’m close to an edge of a tall building because I feel like someone’s going to push me

[@mohameddawid5899]

I’m scared of skydiving because I get the feeling my parachute won’t work
