    I would say yes, I get pretty scared and feel weird when I look down from a high place, especially if It's a balcony .

    No, I really like heights. Since I was a kid I was fascinated with high places and always want to go to the top of everything; mountains, towers, etc.

    Depends, I love flying but I'm afraid of tall areas with no railings or restraints, mostly that fear of the potentially falling itself rather than the height.
    I once went climbing up a smallish mountain with a few mates, almost slipped a few times. Was crapping myself the whole way up and twice as much on the way down.

    Btw, I remember reading once that there is an explanation for our fascination with heights and high places. Apparently, whether scouting/observing for the always present danger of an approaching army/enemies, or just scanning the valley for herd/game - being up in a high place offers many advantages and may be an instinctual, deep-rooted desire for us.

    I remember one guy, he studied in my university, we lived in a student hostel. That hostel was a high-rise building, and our window was located very high from the ground. And this guy had some kind of strange phobia, he tied himself to bed when he went to sleep, because he was afraid that he would get out of bed at night and throw himself out of the window.

    I have the same problem at 100% especially in the border of a balcony or a terrace of a building.
    I have the sensation to jump...
    But I love to fly though.

    Let's say I feel okay until a certain height. When I feel like my life is danger then it becomes uncomfortable and I freak out.

    I am afraid only when I look directly down or stand on unstable ground, in other cases I don't have much problem with it
