I've always had a phobia for heights. I dislike places that are above ground without full cover/protection and would often cringe should I ever be in a position that is so. Perhaps this is attributed to a fall when I was still a toddler, or just an inborn fear, but till date, I've yet to overcome this fear though the extent of fear did diminish over the years (Thankfully). Still, I can't say that I'm a fan of roller coasters which never fails to dip suddenly after climbing to a certain height.

Another unexplained fear is my fear of lightning and thunder which just suddenly surfaced amidst my growing years. At times, I'm not very affected. At other times, all I want to do is to cuddle up under my blanket and tune it all out. I dislike the unexpected flash of the lightning and roar of the thunder. To me, it spoils a nice rainy day.

Perhaps the underlying cause of these 2 fears relate to the fear of death? Deep down, I may be afraid of dying in such painful ways... There's no way to find out though, I guess? And the issue of either facing my fears and trying to overcome them as compared to running away from them... I do hope that 1 day I would be able to conquer my fear of heights for it limits me in trying certain activities like rock climbing (I'm alright with climbing up but I can't stand the coming down process) and such. Till the day that I succeed!
