I always feel when I'm up high I'll jump off and die. Not that I'll accidentally fall off, but that I'll feel a strange urge to.
I get that feeling too. It's strange. I know I wouldn't do it and I'm afraid of heights but I start thinking what if my body jumped? It's like thinking of jerking the wheel when driving a car.
I get these all the time. Its especially bad if I am standing still, like on an escalator. Mulan Kundera said something about vertigo actually being an uncontrollable urge to fall verses a fear of falling. I kind of related to that
i get those strange fears too. like on our second floor of the house we have a banister where if you look down you see the family room. and i sometimes get this scary feeling that i will intentionally jump off there and kill myself even though i really wounldn't!
It's normalish, from what I understand this is though to be a hold-over from living in trees and what-not earlier in our evolution. I've actually had this conversation with my friends once, and two out of the five of us had this feeling too.
Just don't do it without a bungee-cord :P
Sooo funny, so many ppl do this!! I do too, and yes, i also thougt i was the only one!
Haha I have thought that as well. Not seriously contemplating doing it, but what if I can't control myself from doing it?? You have to check this video out:
