Standing on a high place, why do you feel like you are falling, is it a fear of heights?

Actually, fear of heights.

It's not the same thing as falling from a high place.

I tried to wear my dad's special tools for climbing the telephone pole, and then climbed to the telephone pole, generally the telephone pole has 4 meters, 6 meters, 7 meters, 12 meters and other different heights, I climbed a relatively low telephone pole, about the height of the second floor, people on the telephone pole, and the feeling of the flat bottom is completely different......At this time, I also had the feeling of falling.

But I don't have a fear of heights, it's just a normal physiological condition.

We usually live on flat ground, but when we reach the "high altitude", we will naturally have different physiological reactions and produce different psychological feelings ......It's a natural thing to do.

It's like my classmates often sail on the sea, and after getting used to it, they are very comfortable with the life of rocking on the sea, but after returning to land, they feel weird after landing. This is a symptom of maladaptation to a changing environment.

What is the real fear of heights?

I have seen a girl who never goes to the school hallway to look at the outside scenery, even the window is rarely approached, and when she walks the stairs, she only walks inside. These are the places that make me feel weird in daily life, but once, when I saw her being pulled to the window, she looked nervous, and even clenched her hands into fists, feeling tense all over, and I found out that her strange behavior was all due to fear of heights, and it was very serious, and it had lasted for a long time and affected ...... normal life

People who really have a fear of heights, they are aware of their fear of heights, as long as they reach a high place, they will be afraid, nervous, sweating, and even fainting and ...... in severe cases

They don't try to get themselves to high places at all, but they take the initiative to avoid standing on high ......places

Think about it, there are so many extreme sports in foreign countries.

Lovers, don't they ever feel like they might fall when they stand on the rooftop or spire of a tall building? Of course not, they didn't have a fear ......of heights at that time, so when they stood on it, at most their legs would be weak and tremble, and they would not be unable to move

In fact, the easiest way to judge acrophobia is to look at the picture below.

Imagine that you are in this position. At this time, what kind of feeling will you feel when you come up?

If it's just a simple fear and it feels like you're going to fall, then that's a normal person's reaction.

If you don't feel the slightest feeling, or even think oh, no problem......Then you might be a potential extreme sportsman.

However, if your heart starts to beat faster, your blood rushes up, and you feel uncomfortable, as if your body is about to be hollowed out, then you can consider whether to go to a counselor.

to avoid being afraid of heights and affecting normal life.

Standing on a high place has a feeling of falling, others I don't know if it's a fear of heights, for me this is also a kind of fear of heights, because I myself am a kind of fear of heights, into the past two years I feel that my fear of heights seems to be getting more and more serious, as long as I stand in a higher place, for the fence will subconsciously judge whether this is a safe height, if it is lower than my standard, I will feel that I will fall down at any time, so that I will be more afraid.

Let's talk about a recent incident, I accompanied my sister-in-law and their family to play, we went to the science and technology museum, which is only four or five stories high, when I was doing that escalator, I accidentally glanced down, instantly felt dizzy, there was a feeling that I was going to fall down at any time, subconsciously I would stay away from what I thought was dangerous, otherwise I was really afraid that I would make a move to fall.

Therefore, I think that some people with fear of heights are very serious, and they even dare not look down when they make a glass elevator to go up two floors. One of them is that when we stand in a high place, we will feel that the protective measures around us do not make us feel safe, and we will have a feeling of falling down at any time, and it is also because of this feeling that we will feel that standing in a high place will be more terrifying. I also think it's one of the most common symptoms of acrophobia, at least that's how I feel.

So my conclusion is that standing on a high place will have a feeling of falling, which is a manifestation of fear of heights, and people who are not afraid of heights rarely have this feeling. Of course, I also think that the best fear of heights is to conquer him by yourself, to challenge the height a little bit, until you are no longer afraid.

For the topic "People with fear of heights, standing on a high place, are they afraid that they will accidentally fall?" Or are you afraid that you won't be able to help jumping? I think I, as a person with a fear of heights, am still very qualified to answer this question.

In both cases, I think I fall into the former.

Compared to the symptoms of the appeal of the fear of heights, I think I still belong to the milder fear of heights. My fear of heights comes entirely from the fear of falling down. After all, if I'm on a high place, but if there's a fence around me or something, I'm basically more at ease, but I'll silently keep myself as far away from the fence as possible and stand at a safe distance.

Otherwise, it's clinging to the fence. And for transparent elevators and the like, I basically have no obstacles, because I think I am enclosed and there is no such thing as free fall.

This possibility is not completely ruled out.

But it is more likely that there are two other mental illnesses.

If a person has been depressed for a long time, depressed, or in some kind of bad predicament, he should be wary of depression.

If a person is too careful, sensitive, always thinking divergently, overassociating, unrestrained, including excessive washing, repeated inspections, ritual movements, then he should be wary of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If you are depressed, you should know: there is a rainbow after the storm, and there are always more ways (including the method of mental illness) than problems, and you must believe: everything will be fine!

In case of depression, patients are advised to:

Appropriate outdoor activities, exercise, deep breathing, walking, playing ball, dancing, doing exercises, ......Communicate with others, talk to others, pour out stress, unhappiness, or solve practical problems together. Usually, we should look at problems with an optimistic and open-minded attitude, read some inspirational books, be good at seeing the positive and beneficial side of things, and have a long-term vision, rather than worrying about temporary troubles, gains and losses.

In the case of OCD, patients are advised to:

Broaden your mind and horizons, engage in appropriate outdoor activities, and communicate with others. It is necessary to have a scientific and clear understanding of OCD, and when the symptoms come, remind yourself that this is your own OCD, not me. Don't get yourself caught up in it.

Finally, I advise this friend to pay attention to this issue and find time - consult a psychologist!

Acrophobia is the fear that you are more inclined to depression.

No. Fear of heights is not daring to look down.

Acrophobia is also known as acrophobia. The basic symptoms of fear of heights are dizziness, nausea, and loss of appetite. According to foreign survey data, 91% of modern urbanites have experienced fear of heights.

Of these, 10% were clinically phobia. They have to find ways to avoid the "sudden" fear of heights at all times, they dare not take the transparent elevator, let alone stand on the balcony, they can't even stand the height of the 4th floor, let alone take a plane.

There are generally two types of fear of heights. Fear of heights in high places (such as climbing mountains, on the edge of cliffs) is a physiological fear of heights; Fear of people or things in high places (such as the pursuit of higher and better things), and the inferiority and retreat when you see people or things that are stronger than you, are psychological fear of heights.

I guess so. I'm scared too.
