This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

I get scared of...
wait for it,...

looking UP at buildings..

i know...

looking down i have trouble with, but not as much as looking up - especially if theyre really tall, and youre really close to he base.. Eugh

I took this video of looking down the interior of the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai. Its got a hollow atrium for like 50 floors - watch this... hehehe

...
the ginger lad wouldnt even go near the balcony... his name is gina, funnily enough.

the scary part of it was that you didnt trust your self to stay on the correct side of the railing.

its quite difficult to explain, but the air on the abyss side of the railing, seemed different and scary to touch...

I'm a bit like this
It's like I'm afriad the building's going to fall on me or something.

Although I have absoloutely no problem with heights.

Yup
Looking up at tall buildings, or just anything with a very high ceiling (cathedrals and indoor arenas are bad) makes me dizzy and I have to hold onto the floor to avoid throwing up.

But I've looked down of the Eiffel Tower, beachy head etc with no problem at all...

Yeah,
i know exactly what you mean with this one. I don't mind heights, as long as i'm on a steady surface with no wobbling, but seeing a huge building towering over me gives me the shivvers.
