Hi, Im Ajeng from Jakarta, Indonesia.Ever since I was a little, I always scared of being near a high object/buildings and standing inside an indoor place with a high ceillings. My parents knew about this when I was about 3, they sometimes took me to a mall, and I always got freak out everytime I didnt hold my moms hand. I tought everybody felt the same way as I did. But time goes by, and everytime I feel scared of that thing, everybody seems just fine. Im 16 now, and I still have it. Theres a high monument in central Jakarta, I went there once with my friends. I couldnt even stand on my own feet without holding others hand. Is that a serious problem? Because so far, I never met anybody who has the same phobia like mine. And I never had a bad experience with high ceillings or high buildings before. I just scared with them with no reason. I always feel weak around them.
