Anyone ever succesfully managed to conquer fear of heights?

I always get weak in the knees, no matter how many times I take myself to a scary height

No matter how many times you fall, always pick yourself back up.

nope. I've been at heights many many times and it never gets any better for me. I even get nauseous.

Get trained and start toprope climbing.

You get used to being in a high place with positive emotional affect, and then not dying.

I strangely have a fear of heights only on manmade structures.

I dislike standing on the edge of a tall building, but i have no problem standing on the edge of a cliff.

I struggle with it but only around rocky cliffs with big drops. In fact, it feels worse when I'm around people who aren't afraid and walk right up to the edge without hesitation.

High rise building, roller coasters or a railing on the cliff and I feel nothing.

Same. I get dizzy on pedestrian bridges that are specifically designed not to fail, yet I'll happily jump from rock to rock like a mountain goat on meth.

You might try accomplishing something else in your life before you try the fear of heights. You could try to get super fit by eating healthy food and doing some fighting practice. You could try new money earning methods that might put your mind at ease if you succeeded with them.

I only have a fear of height between 25 and 60 feet. Below 25 and I'm perfectly fine and over 60 and I can die. Between that and I'll just be fucking injured and that's gay as fuck.

I was the same until a few years ago when I got the idea I really needed to learn how to paraglide. Watched some videos online, bought a course, and within a couple weeks I was flying on my own. The first few flights were scary then you get used to it. Don't listen to people that says you need to complete X amount of things to conquer your fear of heights, you do not. Just pick something that interests you. Could be rock climbing, paragliding, bungee jumping, etc. Then just go do that thing, repeat until fear dissipates.

Need to spend more time at heights, and pretend to be comfortable.
You should aim to replace the fear with boredom through long exposure. And it helps your brain if you act cocky instead of timid. Take your time, and slowly test things out. When it gets boring, do something more aggressive. And then wait for that to be boring.
Maybe try sitting near a cliff or on a rooftop for a few hours. Read a book, and look out and down frequently. When you stand, stomp and jump a few times. You're teaching your brain that the innate fear can be switched from fear to observation, because you're letting your heart rate lower and acting like it doesn't matter.

I had fear of heights while I climbed high peaks until one season it just disapered, just be strong in your mind and keep going to the mountains, one day you'll overcome your fear, maybe not completely, but parcially for sure
