How can a person conquer their fear of heights?

sky diving or you could smoke weed

Like they say..You got to start from the bottom and work yourself on up as to say you got to start from the bottom of the ladder.

One step at a time. Don't look down. Or, do as I do, stay on the ground.

I would say that working your way up a little by a little should do the trick but also...I would try to work on your balancing skills. walk on a curb with your eyes closed and see how far you can go without falling off. even if you do fall it wont be too far. =]

slowly introduce yourself to different hights. only move onto the next level when you feel like the current level is normal and you have absolutely no fear of it.

do something crazy (but relatively safe) that pushes the boundaries...sky diving or bungie jumping. Let the adrenaline flow through you and feel the calm.

All fears are more of the unknown...

Someone's fear of spiders or snakes is an example... Due to old lore and stories... Visually, they don't represent much of the rest of the world... When you hear about them, being poisonous, you tend to gain a fear... There are snake and spider zoo's and farms now people can go to where they handle these creatures often to break the fear of them...

Heights may been something you haven't dealt with much in your life and throughout your life as well, you know that there is always that chance of falling to your death... So a fear becomes inset...

Face your fears. Simply practicing and doing what you fear is the only way you can get over it...

When I was younger, it used to be roller coasters and after getting on my first I quickly got over them, now I can't get enough of them...

keep climbing!
