Are you afraid of standing on a high building?

In 2006 I traveled to Central America and climbed the tall Mayan ruins. I liked the steep steps and amazing views of the jungle. In my younger days I loved climbing up the Rye clock tower and looking out at the picturesque views.

hi, i'm not afraid standing on a high building because i'm one of many engineers build a high building. first i'm afraid but i always build high building.i practice not to worry in high building because that is my job..

i think i can endure standing on a high building.. but, well i would not dare do it hehe especially if there is someone else in the building who might push me. haha talk about being paranoid, eh...

No, I am not afraid.. i will be afraid if the building i am standing on does not look safe, there are no bars etc, and if it is really open! =)

Hi. llbo1981. Yes, I am afraid to stand on a high building. It is because of my fear of high heights. I have always been this way. I will never stand on a high building, and I hope that I never ever have a reason to.

it scares me out when i look down from a high building... it just makes me imagine i am falling and its really damn wierd. also when i look at the stars, it makes me feel like im up there and falling to earth!

I am afraid too of standing especially on the edge of a high building because I have this crazy notion that if I do I will surely fall below in to the ground. But it is something that I am trying to change slowly. I cant be afraid forever.

I can stand on a high building, provided that there are ledges for me to lean on for support. I can lean over and look at the city but I have to agree that sometimes I do get the feeling that I could fall over or somebody sabotages me. However, standing so high a point does feel cool.

a little bit but i can still manage. But i dont feel any kind of dizziness.

[b]Vov, that is the most difficult situation with me too. I to feel dizziness and my eyes roll...due to this I am afraid that I may fall down. But if it has enclosures then I am the most daring person. Just like KUTUB MINAR which is majestically standing in the Capital city Delhi,I climbed to the highest point and there being a good enclosure I did not feel any difficulty....[/b]

I don't know exactly what I would feel but I could give a good guess. The reason why I'd never do that is because I`m afraid of heights. I can't even stand on a chair without shaking. So i guess if I tried standing on a tall building, I'd probably faint. :P

I have the fear of falling down to the ground so I can not stand close to the edge of a high building.

I'm afraid of heights even though it was just 20 feet tall building I'm afraid to stand near the windows nor in their balcony. I'm feeling like the gravity below is fulling me down and in any moment I might fall to the ground. Do you think it's weird? well can help they say it's natural when you have phobia you get paranoid.

I am not afraid of standing on high building...:) I really like the feeling when I'm at the rooftop...;) haha... It's like I'm standing on the top of a mountain...:) But, I have weird thoughts about falling...:) Free fall...:(( Nooo!

Actually I do, but I don't think that I have fear of heights, because there were many times that I went on a roller coster an ferris wheel and some other rides like cable car and others, and I felt really good, But there is something about standing on a high building that make me feel uncomfortable, Maybe I'm thinking of the security, I don't feel that I'm really safe standing in front of big glass windows on 45th floor? or maybe on the top..I do feel a little shakiness with my knees.

Hi IIbo, Yes, I'm like you, I feel my knees weaken when I stand on high places. In fact, my fear of heights go beyond standing on high places, I feel dizzy and I sweat when I take an ascending scenic elevator, or crossing a suspension bridge that tends to shake, or even fly-overs that are too high for my peace of mind.

I am afraid of standing on a high building too. I am afraid of heights and I have goosebumps whenever I try too, last time when I went to KLCC tower I got scared because we went up in the bridge and it is so scary looking down. I am also afraid walking in hanging bridges.

for me it dosen't matter.i like to have a good view from the top but i hate to live in a apartament.
