I surprisingly didn’t develop a phobia of heights after falling from an even higher height than four stories, despite becoming permanently disabled because of it. Like I thought maybe I would, but I can look over the side of buildings from the roof just fine.
Still scared of most theme park rides, though. I got that from when I was a toddler.
Just the thought of looking over the edge of something like a building elicits a fear response in me.
Panic. Fear. Irrational, even.
ETA - I’ve flat out told my employers - if you send me on anything beyond two floors to chase roof drains/vents (I’m a plumber) Iwill turn in my keys and shove off. This is something I am firmly non negotiable on and have quit over, in the past.
