Basophobia: Fear of falling. Natural fear, just to different degrees depending on the person.

Weird shoe, #171
These give me basophobia but I like them anyway.
Modified gladiator sandals on marble platforms with no heels, and soles decorated with shiny curved triangular strips.

Took some boxes to my car, which involved going up and down the stairs multiple times, and going down kept spiking my anxiety bc of my basophobia, so now I've got a pressure headache atop my regularly scheduled headache.

Would like to clarify that just going down the stairs isn't what aggravated my basophobia. It was going down stairs while carrying a box, which increases the fall risk. 🙃

Also, I still have stuff to pack...

Angel's Landing Hikers
Zion National Park, 📷15 February 2016

As for me, I always ended this hike where I took the picture. (Scout's Lookout) Thank you, acrophobia/basophobia 😬

A line of hikers make their way up the steep trail from Scouts Lookout. On the left is the sheer 1500 foot cliff down to the Virgin River (unseen below). In the left foreground, branches from an evergreen, most with snow on them. Snow patches can also be seen on the ground in many places contrasting with the red rock.

Have you ever had a nightmare that was so severe you spent the entire next day just drifting because you don't have the energy to be a human?

Yeah. I have paralyzing basophobia (fear of falling). I had a series of nightmares about falling from VERY high places, like tops of skyscrapers, pits, etc.

Walking up that almost triggered my basophobia that I've pretty much gotten over.

If I was a cat, that would definitely be me, LOL! I've always had basophobia.

Second class. Almost got my Delilah mount and tried a Birdie until my basophobia kicked in and I got scared.

I got to start learning to not lock my legs like I’m doing.

10. A few, but Basophobia seems like a pretty common one (Fear of Falling)

My basophobia started to kick up, but then it was so obviously a dummy I just laughed. Out loud. 😂

Good morning!! my #WIPSnips today are two parallel paragraphs read side-by-side—each fifteen lines, temporally distant but spatially concurrent.
(content warning: Trypophobia, Basophobia, Nyctophobia)

From neath twirling mists did so rise numerous HOLES, cragged, ENIGMATIC SPOUTS puckered-seeming, exposed only for SKY. Their presence each mark onto a gathering of ENERGY, a FORCE pulling onto the excess remnants and thenst-expunged machinations; suckered is all of the GREAT EGG, drained thrixt SPACE and TIME, seeking ALL are the numerous nozzles peaking— ALL unto every-emptying CRATERS of LOW. The Frog, falling as ever still (or still as ever one could affect in perpetual plummet), stared out into the pitch darkness of beyond before closing its eyes. Pitch dark. Its eyes opened to dark. Closed. Pitch dark, still. So total was the emptiness, so devoid of anything at all that the Frog found itself robbed of knowing if its eyes were open or closed, or even were there to behold all that desperate nothing drained of difference was the Frog that all folded into itself between its eyelids upon the emptiness of below.

30. Basophobia, Merinthophobia and a distinct fear of things that closely resemble past Hallucinations I experienced under Psychosis!

Which does in fact, include Dredge from DBD ✨

Today I learned:

The fear of falling, basophobia, is a natural fear for most humans and mammals.

Basophobia, in my case, means that I can't handle slipping.

I have "climbed" down a mountain "sitting"

My close friends still tease me about it.
But, since I seem to be OK when there's someone with me, I am not "allowed" to climb anything without someone.

TIL there is a name for something I (not extremely but at least mildly) have: Thalassophobia.

Didn't know that's an irrational/unrealistic fear to have, always made total (evolutionary) sense to me. Just like with basophobia 😅🤷🏼‍♂️
