I don't have a fear of heights, only of falling. If it's safe, I can go really high, but walking across say, a log, even a few metres from the ground will make me uneasy.

I'm quite psychologically sound, and I generally don't have many fears that restrict me from activities that are generally safe.

I hate heights. It's amazing to look down if you know your 100% protected though like when I was on the Empire State Building, but if I knew I could easily slip and die I'm very uneasy and my heart starts pounding and I get nauseous.

Only if I am on an airplane. If I am walking through a very tall bridge I have no problem with that.

Only when I'm walking on a trail and there's no guard rail... I tend to walk towards the edge when I look over it...

Sometimes I do. When I was about 7 years old I fell off a tank (it was at an outdoor WW2 exhibit near where we live) and hurt my neck/back and was knocked unconscious long enough to be transported from the park to the hospital. So, I do have some fear.

I absolutely hate heights. I hate being just one slip or fall away from death. Even malls second and third stories make me nervous, so much so I'll walk away from the middle where you can look down. The strange thing is though, I love flying, and would love to be a pilot. :?

I used to really dislike heights, but now working in a tower I think I've gotten used to heights a bit.

I get mildly vertiginous and usually have a strong but totally controllable impulse to JUMP for some crazy ass reason, but taking up free climbing of buildings when I was in college really helped me get over it.

They does indeed. I'm not so bad when the precipice slopes off, like in the mountains, but when I look out over a sheer vertical drop, I get the urge to sit down and hug the nearby vegetation tight.

No. I grew up climbing cliff faces without ropes or gear. It was just something we did back in the day, "hey, let's go climb the cliffs!"
