About 10yrs ago a did 150 foot free fall abseil off a bridge I did it twice because I got a real buzz off it
Courageous? Uf, nothing. I just happen to walk into a given situation. I am far too laid back to be anything near courageous. I just do.

^ Really? That's cool. I have a fear of deep water too and I've always wanted to learn how to swim. No one has really taught me and I think I'm too dumb to actually teach myself.

Hi Phoenix, it is possible, there are many adult swim classes around. If I can learn to swim anyone can. I have not coordination at all.
The trickiest part for me was learning to not fear putting my face in the water, and then blowing bubbles out of my nose to breath in water. I had a few lessons, and the most helpful thing was learning to roll onto my back and trusting that I could float like that if I got tired.
I practiced a lot, in shallow water before I was confident enough to venture into the deep.

Umm, one that comes to mind; I stood between a young couple having a fight. He was very drunk and she was hysterical. I was terrified but prepared to take a punch if it came to that. Everytime he moved to go around me, I stepped in the way. My size and well-practiced blank face won the battle and he staggered off.

Yeah, but I'm too proud not to say so and too modest to say what. Ha Ha

I went whitewater rafting twice and went for a camping trip which consisted of canoeing through rapids all day and setting up camp on the banks of the river every night for three days. I was so close to giving up and going home at the start, but it turned out to be the most fun weekend I ever had. It's a good thing I never fell out because I have this weird thing with water where I will literally hyperventilate if I have a lot of water running down over my head.

Well this one time back when I was a boy I did a lot of stupid things, but one I've always kind of never forgot was when this drunk red neck was pointing a shotgun at my friends down at the river so I stood between them, I didn't think he had any shells lol. He left, tried claiming the area we were swimming at. Abut 10 minutes later we hear him popping off rounds lol.

I can't really remember ever being brave. I've always just looked for the easiest and safest way out of every situation.
Like three years ago I jumped into a lake from a height of 12ft (4m), and I don't know how to swim. Altough I was wearing a life jacket.
