Best way to describe fear of heights - loss of control. Feeling like the laws of physics will fail and you will fall no matter what (even fall upwards to the sky). Also my balance shuts off. If I try to walk across a bridge, I physically get dizzy and fall over and just crawl to the other side.
I feel ya... if I'm too high, I feel like even if I'm 10 ft from the edge, my body is gonna fall and roll even on flat ground, to my death... And even feeling like u will float off.. yep
I am so afraid of heights that It restricts me from going places and having fun in life...like any stadiums, arenas, graduations, in huge audatoriums, big cruise boats, anything thats high...I feel like I am going to literally pass out
Fear of heights is actually a good survival instinct. I will never ever be that guy who falls down hundreds of feet from a cliff's edge, while taking a selfie.
@@o.g.millennials because I like mountains and am only a few hours away from the world's tallest mountain range and would like to use this opportunity to travel places.

My ancestors came from very mountainous countries. My full-blooded Norwegian grandfather couldn't stand to climb a ladder. I've had a fear of heights my entire life. I would have loved to do downhill skiing but never could because of my phobia. Now I'm a senior citizen, and if anything, my fear of heights has gotten worse, not better, leading to yet more restriction of activities, unfortunately.
That is my current problem, I have started to ski but freeze up when it comes to taking the chair lift. My feet and palms are sweaty, my heart racing, and the hot head feeling. I feel like I'm going to fall out of the chair lift. Looks like I'll need to hike to the top or be content with the bunny hill forever
When I was little (about 8) I was on a roller coaster at my county fair with my sister and my seat belt was undoing and then it came completely off and I was slipping off my sister seen and held onto me plus after that I was told a story of a kid who got on another roller coaster in the same fair a few years back who fell and died. For me it’s not really a fear of heights but the fear of falling to my death.
Bro I was on a ride once that shot straight up then down it was called the supershot or something but I couldn’t get my seat belt to click and he started the ride and it started going up slowly and I was yelling saying I wasn’t buckled in and he didn’t hear me and then a girl next to me threw her shoe at the guy and he stopped the ride. If it was like 5 10 seconds more he would’ve made it shoot up and I would’ve been dead. I would’ve flew over 100 feet in the air and fell. That girl saved my life and it’s still scary to this day how close I was to death. I was like 9 when this happened
Same happend to me i held on the metal bar in a miami roller coaster as tight as i can the belt came off... looking back i shoulda told my parents to sue.. and maybe thats why im traumatized... I was also next to me sister weird
I have a hard time taking any sort of stairs. I get anxious even on the second storey of a building. any higher and I'm nearly petrified. elevators, escalators, stairs, they all scare me. I can't even get close to the windows on the third storey of a building. but roller coasters or planes? no problem.
I’m okay going up stairs as long as I don’t look down but when going down you have to look down so my legs start shaking and have to butt scoot down the stairs:/
I hate elevators because I feel like they're gonna break and I'll fall or I'll get stuck, and I hate glass elevators because of that and my fear of heights. Like, whoever came up with the idea for glass elevators is evil incarnate. I want to meet them for a little talk...
I used to not have a fear or heights, but after I almost fell of off a roller coaster that went 150ft in the air due to a loose restraint, but ever since I have a had a huge fear of them. I still like some roller coasters that are closed in and I can't fall out of, but I can't climb a ten-foot ladder lol.
I’m so scared of heights that I have dreams of being on the third floor of my school and I always try to keep close to the windows but it feels like the buildings rotating
I'm so terrified of heights one time I was in Boy scouts and we went to New York I literally had someone hold my hand when we went to the top of the Empire State building I wouldn't even get out of the elevator I was so petrified I was so scared to look up at the buildings when we were exploring
I'm afraid of a certain kind of heights, I can climb mountains and go on planes but when it comes to manmade things on the ground that are high up like buildings and giant swings but then again I love zip lines so I don't even really understand my fear because it's extremely subjective.
I go on roller coasters for an adrenaline rush, but anything else I can’t handle it, I tried rock wall climbing and immediately afterwards I started having a panic attack and felt as if I couldn’t move. I can’t stand on balconies most of the time and flying is nearly impossible for me.
I have a fear of heights and I went to a rock climbing place. I couldn’t make it to the top And had to CLIMB DOWN because I dont trust the harness, there was a 4 YEAR OLD (I’m 12) who was climbing to the top and going down
The most intense bout of fear I remember having about heights was in 4th grade (I'm in between 9th and 10th now but I can still remember it clearly). At my elementary school, we had a square spiraling staircase at the entrance of the school. Even though it only went up one floor, it felt longer. One day nearing our graduation, we had to do an "egg drop challenge" where we would drop eggs (encased in protective contraptions) and see whether they cracked or not. We were working in teams, and I wasn't the one assigned to drop it, but I remember the fear gripping me as I looked down the staircase. Everyone was standing up, but I felt my legs turn to jelly as I slid down into a sit and held onto the railing for dear life while everyone was talking and laughing around me. I don't think I'll ever forget that.
Being above average height really screws me up, I was on the first step of a STEP STOOL and I was clinging onto the door frame next to me and my knees were bent and I was shaking and crying. I wasn’t even a foot off the ground and I knew that but I was terrified.
I see all these crazy stories about not being able to take the stairs, etc. And here I am only scared about high places like roller coasters or very tall buildings.
I can't even take an elevator (not glass, not outside the building, not in a tall building) without cringing and having to hold onto something. Even school buses trigger the phobia.
my fear of heights stems from some stupid shit that my brain made up, and its stupid, but I cant talk about it. It not only upsets me to be up high, but to look up at a point of height. When I look up at a point, I put myself there, and it brings back the memories of my previous made up ideas. Its terrifying and I don't like it.
I know why you’re scared. I have that same scary, uncontrollable feeling. I have only known 1 person to ever admit why. So, ya… It’s a thing no one talks about.
For me it's always "what if there's a huge gust of wind? what if I faint and fall over? what if this ledge crumbles and sends me tumbling down the cliff?" Just watching videos of people climbing tall things makes me want to lay down and hug the ground.
Today I tried to go skydiving with friends something about looking out the plane window made me so sick I’m now regretting it but I also listened to my body
I think that learned from a parent or a traumatic experience is something I can relate to. I don't know what started my fear of heights but I can remember many times when I was young that I felt a sudden fear my body wanted to shut down. I use to have thoughts of falling constantly but has been less and less over the years but that doesn't mean I am not afraid of heights! I am trying my best to overcome it
I really fear heights to a point where if I watch a video with some highest things I get freaked out or I get this feeling that I can't explain 😩it's so sad I can enjoy some fun places
When I was 8 to 11 years old, I lived in Brazil in a place where there was a huge, maze mountain chains, just like what you see in Georgia near Russia. OMG, the mountains chains was a monster for me while I was approaching going around to go from point A, B, C and you see those deep valleys, it looks like it will swallow you. There was a pathway to go around. But whenever I was going to that direction I had a fear to get lost on the maze mountain. I remember about the mountain, but I can't remember where I was going to where? why I kept going there. It seems that I wanted to conquer the challenge. And sometimes it makes think, how come mountains existed in the area where I lived, kind of strange. Usually mountains are in a remote area. Sometimes I think if the mountains really existed, because it's hard to believe that I kept approaching the area with the mountains that scared me so much. Another place that scared me was the wood, scared of snakes, the giant rocks and afraid of snakes underneath the rocks and this wood just before going to the mountains area. One of these days I am going to google map to see if these mountains existed. It was too scaring to believe it existed. I just don't know how I managed to go to places beyond the mountain and return home surrounding the monsters.
I have fear of heights and my friend made me climb a big fence and I couldn't get down and was scared of failing to jump down but apparently I just jumped down like spiderman and felt gangsta bc i saw other ppl doing it but I couldn't XD facts
i once rode a gondola across the boardwalk in santa cruz thinking it was no big deal but as soon as my feet left the ground i PANICKED. in my head jumping off the lift was a better idea than just riding it out
I've dealt with ladders, working on roofs, playing on roofs as a kid with no problem but the past couple years has gotten tough, I get that wobbly head feeling he described. I start a job next week washing windows at height and im wondering if it was a bad job to take, hopefully I can snap out of it and get over it quick. Its weird, im not afraid of heights, ill get up their but when I get up there I have no control over that vertigo feeling.
I'm afriad of height, when I go to the roof of the hotel, and I look down from balcony, and I saw how height of the hotel, imagine if I accidently slipped over there would be nightmare.
I got the fear after having a vivid dream. In the dream i was at my old apartment complex which was 2 stories high. It had a platform sort of like a long balcony to walk across the front of the apartments on the second floor. In my dream I was on the platform when it suddenly collapsed and I started falling and fell to my death. Ever since then I couldn’t do heights.
@@alexseepersaud6593 no dont believe this idiot. if you dont know how to swim and you jump in water you wont swim. learn how to swim then jump into water and only then you will swim. you wanna know why? because you fucking learned to. schell is a complete moron, a "trust me bro" type dude.
Why do you have to overcome it ? I think fear of heights is a good thing. If you fail from a great height, you can't do anything to save yourself. I have a severe fear of heights and I don't want to overcome it.
I am so afraid of heights that looking at _photos_ or pictures taken from heights makes me very uneasy. Seriously -- I have to use Google Maps in map-view rather than satellite view. I know it's ridiculous, but that doesn't change my gut reaction.
I used to not be afraid of heights as a kid , but I’m realizing maybe it’s because what happened when I was climbing this playground at the mall with some others and I can kind of remembered a kid falling and bleeding but I never did know what happened to him. I’m not sure but I think that’s the root cause and every since I’d have dreams recurring falling off heights but recently I’ve over come it in my dreams but not IRL
I am not afraid of heights, for sure, but, on three occasions, high on mountains, my body reacted to what my eyes saw, and it saw danger, a strange sensation came over me, and I was compelled to get down on the grass. Even though my consciousness knew I wasn't in danger, my subconscious had a different point of view. Two of the times, it was an ever increasingly steep grass slope which I knew was leading to a cliff edge , there was nothing to stop me should I have tumbled down, my mind could see that as a predetermined fate. The third occasion, was a path that led to a 200 ft drop flanked by two pine trees on the edge. To the mind, DANGER. A very weird set of events.
I don’t have a fear of heights. I love being up high. I have a fear of being UNSAFE at a high level. If I’m in a plane, I’m fine. Observation deck? I’m fine. It’s those guys climbing a skinny 2000ft tower ladder with one safety hook.. or the people who climb steel structures that are about 6inches wide and hundreds of feet tall.. my feet are sweating just thinking about it!
I can’t think of a single traumatic height related experience and my parents, siblings, or friends don’t share this fear. So why does my stomach have that butterfly like feeling (that nauseating feeling you get in your stomach sometimes when your sea sick/motion sick) when I’m on a high rung on a ladder or looking off the roof of my house?
I have a severe fear of heights but I also have a fear of the ocean, space and massive objects (giant things)……..I wonder if there’s a correlation between all of the phobias I have. Maybe a fear of vastness??…….idk
Does anyone else get more scared, not when they look towards the ground, but when they look straight ahead and see the side of the building and know how tall that is. Something about that freaks me out more than looking at the ground.
Interesting, I don't even thought about that, but my fear of heights could be also related to my fear of uneven terrain if beeing in the car. Does someone has that too? When you are inside a car driving on a side of a hill, not on a steep slope but you'r slightly tilted, and you think you gonna roll over.
I never used to be afraid of heights, I'd climb some pretty tall structures like it was a walk in the park. But when I became I dad thats when the fear started. My brain said I could do it but my body gave up
There is Hypsophobia (fear if heights) and there is acrophobia (fear of edges). Acro is edge or cliff- ACROpolis Most people are acrophobic, few people are Hypsophobic. Meaning,, you can hang out on a rooftop with no problem whatsoever. But when you walk toward the edge, thats when your acrophobeia kicks in. People who are afraid of even going on a roof have Ypsophobia, which is far more irrational fear. they wont even get into an elevator, or live more than 1 floor up. Acrophobia is very common and normal. It is NOT an irrational fear. Ypsohobia is an irrational fear.
Is there a name for the anxiety experienced due to 'bloody annoying sounds' being played during RUclips videos? Because whatever it is, I've definitely got it!
I'm definitely not afraid of heights. Quite the opposite actually, I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I jump off cliffs and out of planes and climb cell towers for a living. I love the rush heights give me, but it was interesting to see the science behind why most people feel the opposite!
I'm sorry but I'm not that dumb to jump off a cliff and potentially die. I don't give a fuck if I'm a scaredy cat. I'm using my brain and saving my life lol
Have you heard of the man who fell off the skyscraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself: "So far so good... so far so good" How you fall doesn't matter. It's how you land.
People that aren't afraid of heights are the ones who are wierd. I'm not afraid of heights, I dont like edges. I'll fly all the time. As long as I'm enclosed
I just hate that I shake on a six foot step latter, yet in the 1920s New York skyscraper workers were walking around a hundred stories up with no harness on beams and forgoing bathroom breaks for the whole day to stay up there😂 excuse the run-on sentence
Is that it? Maybe stop drinking coffee? That's your advice? I went to the observation deck of the Empire States Building and I couldn't enjoy the view, dammit! I don't even drink coffee.
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.

I am so afraid of heights that looking at _photos_ or pictures taken from heights makes me very uneasy. Seriously -- I have to use Google Maps in map-view rather than satellite view. I know it's ridiculous, but that doesn't change my gut reaction.
I used to not be afraid of heights as a kid , but I’m realizing maybe it’s because what happened when I was climbing this playground at the mall with some others and I can kind of remembered a kid falling and bleeding but I never did know what happened to him. I’m not sure but I think that’s the root cause and every since I’d have dreams recurring falling off heights but recently I’ve over come it in my dreams but not IRL
I am not afraid of heights, for sure, but, on three occasions, high on mountains, my body reacted to what my eyes saw, and it saw danger, a strange sensation came over me, and I was compelled to get down on the grass. Even though my consciousness knew I wasn't in danger, my subconscious had a different point of view. Two of the times, it was an ever increasingly steep grass slope which I knew was leading to a cliff edge , there was nothing to stop me should I have tumbled down, my mind could see that as a predetermined fate. The third occasion, was a path that led to a 200 ft drop flanked by two pine trees on the edge. To the mind, DANGER. A very weird set of events.
I have fear of heights man its so scary even sanding on a chair
I don’t have a fear of heights. I love being up high. I have a fear of being UNSAFE at a high level. If I’m in a plane, I’m fine. Observation deck? I’m fine. It’s those guys climbing a skinny 2000ft tower ladder with one safety hook.. or the people who climb steel structures that are about 6inches wide and hundreds of feet tall.. my feet are sweating just thinking about it!
I can’t think of a single traumatic height related experience and my parents, siblings, or friends don’t share this fear. So why does my stomach have that butterfly like feeling (that nauseating feeling you get in your stomach sometimes when your sea sick/motion sick) when I’m on a high rung on a ladder or looking off the roof of my house?
I have a severe fear of heights but I also have a fear of the ocean, space and massive objects (giant things)……..I wonder if there’s a correlation between all of the phobias I have. Maybe a fear of vastness??…….idk
Does anyone else get more scared, not when they look towards the ground, but when they look straight ahead and see the side of the building and know how tall that is. Something about that freaks me out more than looking at the ground.
I never being a roller coaster
Interesting, I don't even thought about that, but my fear of heights could be also related to my fear of uneven terrain if beeing in the car. Does someone has that too? When you are inside a car driving on a side of a hill, not on a steep slope but you'r slightly tilted, and you think you gonna roll over.
once I stood on the top of the slide and got dizzy and fell then broke my leg had to wear a cast for 8 weeks I broke my tibia and ankle
I am never getting over my acrophobia
I never used to be afraid of heights, I'd climb some pretty tall structures like it was a walk in the park. But when I became I dad thats when the fear started. My brain said I could do it but my body gave up
*looks down*
DEATH
In space you arent afraid anymore
I'm going to go skydiving to get rid of my fear of heights I think I'm a little insane
Im scared of heights too, got a Skydive date set up for the 16th of June, idk what the hell is wrong with me
What were the results? Thanks
Are still scared of heights, please tell me I need to do that as well if it works
Do it broooo
@@johnmolenaar3810 he splattered all over the floor. Sad news, but he went out facing his fears like a champ.
I don’t ride carnival rides bc my acrophobia
Me too😢
I want to jump off huge bridges and rocks into water like my parents did but its so hard to commit to a jump like that.
There is Hypsophobia (fear if heights) and there is acrophobia (fear of edges). Acro is edge or cliff- ACROpolis
Most people are acrophobic, few people are Hypsophobic. Meaning,, you can hang out on a rooftop with no problem whatsoever. But when you walk toward the edge, thats when your acrophobeia kicks in.
People who are afraid of even going on a roof have Ypsophobia, which is far more irrational fear. they wont even get into an elevator, or live more than 1 floor up.
Acrophobia is very common and normal. It is NOT an irrational fear.
Ypsohobia is an irrational fear.
Non Trust in Gravity.
Fell off my bunk bed when I was 7 now I’m here trying to figure out my phobia 😂
I was hoping he would talk about how everything at the top looks smaller than it is.
Is there a name for the anxiety experienced due to 'bloody annoying sounds' being played during RUclips videos? Because whatever it is, I've definitely got it!
It's so simple HUMANS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THAT FUCKING HIGH IN THE AIR
Im scared someone will jokingly push me and I’ll actually fall off
It's the fear of dying. If you would never tell her anything about death you wouldn't have that fear
2:36 me when the crack kicks in
I'm definitely not afraid of heights. Quite the opposite actually, I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I jump off cliffs and out of planes and climb cell towers for a living. I love the rush heights give me, but it was interesting to see the science behind why most people feel the opposite!
But isn't that fear? Why would you get adrenaline of of something that would be normal to you? I don't understand.
I'm sorry but I'm not that dumb to jump off a cliff and potentially die. I don't give a fuck if I'm a scaredy cat. I'm using my brain and saving my life lol
I went to silverdollar city today and all the Rollercoaster were good but I got the last 2 rides of the day and I lost all composure
Hey RiAus i really like your videos :)
Can you do one about the evolution of the conditions and habitats that the aborigines live in?
the music really made the video cool
Why do they have to add such distracting background music in these videos? Fear of emptiness?
Have you heard of the man who fell off the skyscraper?
On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself:
"So far so good... so far so good"
How you fall doesn't matter.
It's how you land.
I am very afraid of height.even i fear only 5 th floor.I don't know why this happen but know i understand
The only heights I’m afraid of is going on mountains, sky scrapers, and skydiving
I never was afraid of heights until the last 5 years...
i, imagine myself going in edge then being scared then jump off the cliff because of fear lmao
20 foot ladder?? no problem.. 60-100 foot silo i get scared im gonna jump.
i got it from reflection of the tiles i looked down i thought i was about to fall i felt traumatized back then
People that aren't afraid of heights are the ones who are wierd. I'm not afraid of heights, I dont like edges. I'll fly all the time. As long as I'm enclosed
Me going to a high mt. When I'm inside the car: mehhhh
Me outside the car in Mt.: nope
I had a dream I was on the edge of a building and I couldn’t walk back off but crawl back
Here's my answer: Never fully trust buildings built by humans.
I'm afraid of heights but not very much like I know people who won't go on ladders like wtf I just don't like high areas with no rails and stuff
I just hate that I shake on a six foot step latter, yet in the 1920s New York skyscraper workers were walking around a hundred stories up with no harness on beams and forgoing bathroom breaks for the whole day to stay up there😂 excuse the run-on sentence
Is that it? Maybe stop drinking coffee? That's your advice? I went to the observation deck of the Empire States Building and I couldn't enjoy the view, dammit! I don't even drink coffee.
I fear of hight because I feel I want to jump..
Im afraid of height but ironically im a military pilot.. i fly for a living 😂
I can’t sleep on the top bunk because it looks like it’s 5000 feet in the air
I I hyperventilate at high altitude
Narrrr im not
More than my scare of heights is my absolute aversion of looped lame music backing a video for no reason
Why the stupid background music....it makes us more scared...we can't even concentrate on the video 😅
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
