How do I overcome my fear of heights?

Question

How do I overcome my fear of heights?

Answer 1

I was afraid of heights too. Many years ago I worked as a carpenter. Under peer pressure, I forced myself to get up on three story scaffolds and roofs to do the work the other guys were doing. It didn't take long before the fear faded away and I became confident. But I quit doing that and now I've noticed that the fear has come back. I guess it's something that needs to be exercised.

Answer 2

Flying in an airplane does not, I repeat, NOT cure your fear of heights. I've been flying for United now for 30 years, and every time I look over a ledge, I get weak knees. The best way to cure such an ailment, is to do what my great grandpappy did back in the great war! Go ahead and rub some Cocoa butter on the back of your ears!

Answer 3

Learn to skydive!

Answer 4

The only way to overcome fear is to face fear itself.

Answer 5

Just know your not in space but in the world, in  space is probably the highest point that you can be.

Answer 6

Fly in an airplane, it's the only way : )

Answer 7

You shouldnt be scared of the height.  It wont kill you.  You should not be scared of the fall.  It will not kill you either.  The ground pushing back on you when you hit it will kill you.  Its perfectly normal to be scared of that.
