What's wrong with jumping out of planes?
Went to jump school as part of my training. It wasn't the jumping that scared the **** out of me it was the flying. I was happy to get out of the plane.I am not a lover of height these days but when I joined the military in 1957, I was anxious about everything. I enlisted for Airborne, not knowing if I had the guts to jump. Well I made it and for three years in the 101st even though I still had this fear, I was going to do it, even if I died.
I've seen guys freeze in fear and panic . There is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone is different and probably all of us have some kind of phobia. Nothing to fear but fear itself as President Roosevelt so eloquently said.

I just feel completely helpless flying and don't enjoy it at all. Flown all over the world and can honestly say that I never enjoyed a flight.
My last flight was New Years Eve 1999 (Y 2K) coming back from NYC. I stepped off the plane looked back and said "I'm done." and I was.
Like the OP anything higher than a 6' ladder these days I start getting vertigo.
Just gave me the willies. I’m not afraid of heights much but I ain’t doing that. No way. No sir
A relative fell off an 8' ladder and broke his hip. Got an infection and almost died from it. Major loss of family income for a year or two. It's a legitimate concern (I wouldn't call it fear). I don't know how old you are, but at 62 I still do it, but I'm much more cautious. We aren't as supple as we age.I can force myself to a degree but that anxiety leading up to making myself do it sucks I know rationally 10-15 ft isn’t anything to really worry about yet when the time comes I can’t do it without going through every possible bad scenario
