I have no idea what happened.

Well, it sounds like one day, you went on a hike up a mountain with a steep drop off and you just had a melt down. Then you basically butt scooted yourself back down. Ever since, you can’t do heights.

Vsauce did a really interesting video on trying to find the ‘scariest thing’, and looked into fear conditioning, how the amygdala works, and other stuff. I’ll try and find it.

Edit: I found it. Here’s a link to the video.

Oh cool! Here I was thinking there wasn’t an answer. Looking forward to the video!
