My greatest fear is driving on very windy road with vertical drop off, though I am not the one driving, but I always close my eyes despite everyone in the car would tell me the view is magnificent, I can just not take the height when the car is moving at the same time.betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353302510092618255.post-89823355240061070302010-11-11T15:36:06.909-08:002010-11-11T15:36:06.909-08:001) Greatest fear for me is to get burn or drowning...1) Greatest fear for me is to get burn or drowning..<br /><br />2) Haven't face that fear yet, but even when I see it on TV, I'm terrified!DoanLegacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000360276338920869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353302510092618255.post-15448026110961461022010-11-11T15:17:37.276-08:002010-11-11T15:17:37.276-08:00I am afraid of heights too.

Usually my fears have no basis and are a waste of energy and time. I think it wise to fear heights and to stay away from the edge of buildings.

Since then thunders, for me, are just natural phenomenon. I wouldn't go out again, though. Just once to face the fear.:)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290607560485376471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353302510092618255.post-66155027530684896412010-11-11T06:40:11.472-08:002010-11-11T06:40:11.472-08:00beautiful skylines.

The ledge of high places make me sick too. This prevented me from trying to do the zipline even if everybody of our group of 7 has to ride except me. When i see that the zipline is really above the towering trees and waterfalls, i really begged off and stayed back. Grrrr!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
