I have now realized that I want to TELEPORT - either me or another mass (up to human size, say.)

I'm lucky that I don't really have a fear of heights. FALLING, however - BRR!

That pesky gravity is why we'll probably never see flying cars for the masses.

Dismemberment.

Paralysis.

Try Google Maps from a random location in your city, and see if you can find your way home.

Now think about winter breezes, thunderstorms, autumn leaves blowing in your face.... I think I shall prefer to drive.

I own a glider flying school and fly gliders and airplanes basically every day.  You'd be surprised how many pilots don't really care for heights. :). As long as I'm strapped in, its all good!

I do remeber this Jerry Seinfeld quote when it comes to public speaking:

"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”

i had a summer job in high school working outside. 

one morning there was a frog (or toad) minding it's own business and one of the guys made it quite obvious that he was scared of frogs and all of the other guys noticed it enough that they started picking it up and tossing it at him, to which he ran, screamed, and made it quite obvious he was was terrified. terrified!

i did not partake, i just stayed quiet.

that night after work i "found" a spider.

i picked it up, let it crawl on my hands, arms, belly and legs.

i did it for a long time, over an hour i'm sure - until my fear was gone.

nobody !!!! was ever !!! going to terrify me the way they did to Brian that day. nobody !!!

year after year, "playing" with different bugs, i am no longer scared of spiders or other bugs - i still don't like them, but i am confident that no one can sense i have a 'hesitation' with bugs ... and no one will ever tease or terrify me like Brian !!!
