Confidence is (1 Viewer)

... the opiate of the masses. 

I like Hunter S and Bukowski's quotes on confidence.   They've drunk enough liquid courage to know a thing or two about it.

 
Man, that is some ish @PrettyDangBright!

At one time, I was up for high-wire acts...

...until I fell off an 80 foot cliff while drunk & stupid in my my 20's...

...today, I have a hard time watching such things...

...FLASHBACK!!!!  :excited:
Oof, sorry to hear about your misadventure with the cliff, but I'm glad you're here to tell the tale.

I have a hard time watching any of the videos where the kids are taking crazy risks up high.

There's one where a kid runs and slides on ice right up to very roof edge of a building that looks to be at least 10+ stories.... that's a really hard one to watch.

TLDR: sh!tting like no one is listening

...FLASHBACK!!!!  :excited:
I use to climb, anything, cliffs, rocks, buildings, bridges, anything.  Then I was on a balcony that collapsed and sent me down 40 feet.  I broke my pelvis, femur, four ribs, ulna and radius in twelve places and punctured a lung.  when I healed I went out to the Colorado National Monument.  I got to the edge and experienced terrible vertigo.  I've learned to control it but I no longer climb.  Hell, even being on my roof to put up Christmas lights is something that causes me a bit of discomfort, though I do it.

 
...generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in one's self.

Ouch!

I'm very sad to read about this DW.

In fact, your accident was far worse than mine. Although my total fall was 80 feet, I went through tree tops that slowed me down a little and then landed on a slope (rather than flat earth) that lessened the impact as well. My only injury was a highly bruised hip. The doc also said that my drunkeness "rag dolled" me...iow, I did not tense up, which would have made a more severe injury more likely. 
 

I was very lucky.

And again, so sorry for your much worse outcome.
