Basic Common Sense

Why People Get Scared When They Go to High Places 😨 When you go to a high place, you might perceive your surroundings as more dangerous than usual. Our eyes perceive the difference in distance and height more significantly when looking down from a high spot, and our brain judges the potential for danger based on this information. Especially when you look directly down, you can't see the ground close to your field of vision, and you see the distant view all at once, making the height feel greater. Some people also experience tension or dizziness at this time. Therefore, feeling scared in high places isn't an abnormal reaction; it can be seen as a natural response of the body preparing for potentially dangerous situations.
