I hate heights too. I hate flying, have to have a couple of calming drinks before I can board a plane. I went as white as a sheet on the roof of Chester cathedral on a tour last year... The steep narrow staircases didn't help on that day though. Seems to be getting worse as I get older.

Strangely enough I love flying, and rollercoasters.  The only two areas where the fear of heights doesn't really kick in.  But just before christmas I visited Blackrock Observatory and was scared stiff on top of the tower, approx 4 stories of a height:

Phobias are irrational fear of something.

Avoidance of danger is clearly rational.

..

A fear of clowns is irrational.


Unless the clown in question is John Wayne Gacy.

When being inside a building at the first floor (weird system going on, ground, 0, mezzanine, 1) and being afraid to look out a corner window the whole height of the floor for fear of falling when there was no chance of it happening (and getting very dizzy when I finally did), that's irrational.

That's my fear.

I don't think i have any phobias.

I don't like spiders or heights or narrow spaces or such. But not to anything above mild discomfort.

Makes me want to simultaneously scream and vomit.

That's not a phobia though. Aversion to things is natural. Especially to something that reminds of sickness.

Sorry if i'm being too literal here.

I've been racking my brain to think of a phobia I might have.
Best I can come up with is ironing.
