Just a few addition for the users above who made some good enlightening. You can always opt to use other alts which has low transaction fees, dogecoin is one example.
If you're not in a hurry, you can still choose to have lower fee, but would take a bit longer to reach your wallet.
Nevertheless, this high transaction fees doesn't stay forever anyway. People are already expecting this to happen after the halving.
This is what I'm doing when I want to transfer Bitcoin from an exchange.
However, if OP has his BTC in his own wallet, then he doesn't have a choice but to pay the high fee. Although, I just read an article that
BTC fees are 50% down in the last 5 days.
