[quote=Anonymous]My oldest DS is not an anxious person.  He is a college student and just spent a semester abroad having a great time, and is backpacking around SE Asia right now alone for a few days until he meets up with friends.  He is outdoorsy and likes to hike and kayak, he performs on stage in a singing group, he will try any new food without hesitation, and is just generally the first person to say yes to new experiences.

He does NOT, however, like heights.  Never has.  Hated school trips to Kings Dominion because he didn't like rollercoasters.  Doesn't like to ride the ski lift (but will because he likes to snow board, but he has to psyche himself up for it.)  Wouldn't go up the Eiffel Tower in Paris.  I am he exact same way, and I don't have any kind of anxiety about most things.  We have both gotten to the point where we can control our fear where it is necessary, but when it is optional, we absolutely choose to avoid any kind of heights or thrill rides.

When we went to Hawaii my DH and DD went ziplining one afternoon, and my son and I went to a lavender farm, and then we all met up for lunch and he was lovely asking his little sister about her experience and oohing and aahing over her pictures and we all had a nice little family vacation without anyone pouting or being annoyed.
