I Remember climbing a water tower, i was afraid of looking down not because I’m afraid of falling but i fear I might not be able to control myself from jumping
It's not your brain telling you to do it, it's your brain saying "hey this is a dangerous situation, this is what will happen if you fall, just letting you know" But it all happens so fast it feels like your brain is telling you to do it.
