I am terrified of heights!  If I ever need to climb a ladder, I get someone else to do it for me!

Your fear is called acrophobia. It is the fear of heights, even when you are not very high up.

I used to fix roofs for a living and I fell off one time, and ever since then I've been afraid of heights.
1_Wizard
Oh, I see. Most people have a natural fear of heights.

I tried hypnotism to help get rid of the fear, but it didn't help.  I guess I'm just going to have to stay at ground level!

Yes you don't want to experience a panic attack in a high place. Better to stay low and avoid tall places.

That's my plan!  It does affect any vacation plans since flying is out of the question - boat, car or train are my only options!

Don't forget horseback. That is how many people used to travel in the old days.

That's a good idea!  I love horses, as long as they are well trained and gentle!

Yeah, horses are very nice animals. Amazing that pioneers traveled the Oregon Trail with horses and wagons.
