Standing in a shopping mall looking down to the floors below and think to myself. “Jump” In no way do I want to kill myself but when I brought this up a lot of my friends had been through the same thing.

They are thought to be as a way your brain creates fear of something you shouldn’t do: you see a height, you think about jumping, then you think about yourself splatting on the ground, the result is you don’t do it and gradually you developed a mild fear of height, which increases your chances of survival.
Think of it like a simulation your brain runs to see if something is doable.
