Grar. Bloody simplistic holier-than-thou asshats/asshatery. (hate-ery? That too.)
Fear of heights and fear of falling are clinically two different things, both real. (I'm sure you know that already.) My fear of falling has nothing to do with heights, and everything to do with instability/skidding/sensation of free-fall. I *like* being way up high.
And wordity-word-word on fear of people. I am not particularly afraid of rejection -- it's a known and reasonably predictable event in my life. Fear of people (particularly ones giving off creeper/angry/macho/poor self control/generally bad vibes) that's just good *sense* under circumstances of possible threat, and everyone gets to decide for themselves what constitutes that.
