A fear of heights is not irrational: they are potentially very dangerous. See phobia, in section 27, at A fear faced is a fear reduced; a fear avoided is a fear strengthened. When we are younger, we tend to think we’re invincible, and immortal, to some extent. As we age, we often become more risk averse, and life becomes more precious.

I’ve experienced several kinds of phobias throughout my life. I have worked very hard to get rid of them as much as possible and have a more fulfilling life. So with me as I’ve aged, my phobias are either gone, or less strong because I’ve worked on them. It has been a difficult journey but well worth it. You’re probably experiencing it more intensely because you may be having more panic attacks during situations that trigger them. Or perhaps, as you’re aging, you are more anxious in general than when you were younger. As time goes by the phobia can become stronger because of your thoughts about the situations that are scary and causing anxiety.

I had the fear of heights, tall buildings, and public speaking when I was younger. Now I fear neither because I have conquered them. Have a great day!
