In some cases they do both. They start slipping and then think "if I'm going down, lets just do a swan dive"!
Maybe its the pressure of people's unrealistic expectations....maybe its a character flaw, maybe its just how things are. For some reason people like to see others fall.... and it's much more interesting if its a fall of some distance.
My problem is I've never liked heights. But anytime I've tried to tell people that they just pat me on the back and reassure me that its ok.......there's nothing to be afraid of.
So, still not fully understanding how I got here (on the pedestal that is, not the falling off part)..... I've decided to crawl down.
Not very attractive I know. Slipping, falling or jumping would be much more glamorous. But I can't for the life of me figure out how else to get down without making a mess, and good southern girl I am...we just can't have that!

I don't mind heights. I have a bit of a problem with downs, though!
You know, I think crawling is good. If that's what it takes for you to come down, then so be it. For some it will be the jump, others the slip or the fall, and others will need to either be pushed, or the pedestal will have to be smashed. But crawling - that's your choice.
In the end we're all crawling at some point because we don't have the strength or energy to carry on.
Hi! Just read your comment and hope things go well for you, and thank you for the encouragement! Mostly I'm just talking to myself! ;-)
