I’m not going up there!
Call it Acrophobia or whatever you want but it’s not happening. Someone else can go up!!
And last night they did.
Thanks to Ray and Darren I did not have to gut it out and clean out the house gutters (eavestrough).
I was happy to keep my feet on the ground last night. Besides that my wife said my life insurance policy wouldn’t quite pay out enough for her liking. I don’t think she was serious….but I could be wrong.
“Acrophobia is an extreme or irrational fear or phobia of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort, that share similar causes and options for treatment.
Most people experience a degree of natural fear when exposed to heights, known as the fear of falling. On the other hand, those who have little fear of such exposure are said to have a head for heights. A head for heights is advantageous for hiking or climbing in mountainous terrain and also in certain jobs such as steeplejacks or wind turbine mechanics.
People with acrophobia can experience a panic attack in high places and become too agitated to get themselves down safely. Approximately 2–5% of the general population has acrophobia, with twice as many women affected as men.”
Do you feel uneasy when you are up high or not?
What’s your fear?? Let me know here:
