Acrophobia is the fear of heights, and batophobia is the fear of being close to tall buildings.
What does Batophobia mean?
An abnormal fear of being near an object of great height, such as a skyscraper or mountain.
Why are people scared of heights?
According to the evolutionary psychology perspective, fears and phobias are innate. That is, people can experience a fear of heights without direct (or indirect) contact with heights. Instead, acrophobia is somehow hardwired so people have this fear before they first come into contact with heights.
