What is considered a fear of heights ?

408 views

When people say they are afraid of heights I get really confused because isn’t almost everyone in the world afraid of heights ? What makes someone with a fear of heights
in the sense of a phobia different than a “regular” fear of heights ? I don’t really know
the difference.

My fear of heights is so bad that when I daydream, I often lapse into a height situation where I fall. Just that thought alone induces nausea, sweating, cramping in my feet from curling my toes, etc. It’s like I’m actually torturing myself but I don’t do it on purpose, I just have an extreme fear.

It isn’t pleasant but it could be worse as, daydreaming apart, I can control it insofar as I just wouldn’t allow myself to get into a situation with heights these days. Terra firma ftw.
