my biggest fear in life is heights.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Acrophobia is an extreme or irrational fear or phobia of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort, that share both similar causes and options for treatment. Most people experience a degree of natural fear when exposed to heights, known as the fear of falling. On the other hand, those who have little fear of such exposure are said to have a head for heights. A head for heights is advantageous for those hiking or climbing in mountainous terrain and also in certain jobs e.g. steeplejacks or wind turbine mechanics. People with acrophobia can experience a panic attack in high places and become too agitated to get themselves down safely. Approximately 2\u20135% of the general population suffers from acrophobia, with twice as many women affected as men. The term is from the , \"\u00e1kron\", meaning \"peak, summit, edge\" and , \"ph\u00f3bos\", \"fear\". Traditionally, acrophobia has been attributed, like other phobias, to conditioning or a traumatic experience. Recent studies have cast doubt on this explanation; a fear of falling, along with a fear of loud noises, is one of the most commonly suggested inborn or \"non-associative\" fears.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I have a terrible fear of heights.
