“Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.”
— Dale Carnegie

For me, I am most fearful of heights because of many reasons due to my personality.

It scares me to be too far off from the ground and I then imagine things that would happen if I ever fall down that distance.

My imagination disturbs my mind very easily that I then think of myself falling off that high place and crashing down onto the hard stony floor below; then my bones crack and I will feel pain in all the parts of my body. Infact thinking of it now even chills me to the bones already.

When I find myself with this fear, my legs go weak and sweaty and I become paler than I have ever been. Due to this fear I make an iron grip onto whatever is near to me.

I would try to ignore my surrounding and try to think of anything else. I grip insanely hard on whatever I am holding. I also try to think of things to distract me. I finally figured out that imagination plays a big role in fear.

All in all, my dreadest fear is heights and it always will and does scare me to this day.
