Current Events > I think I may have Bathophobia

(+) Yeah! (+)

Which means a lot of things unfortunately.

Bathophobia generally means fear of the deep great depth of any kind such as a cave or an empty abyss. What I'm afraid of is specifically the deep deep ocean depth. Now I'm not afraid of the depth of a pool, lake or river. I'm not afraid of some monstrous crazy looking deep hole in a cavern either. I'm not of afraid of the ocean itself. I can swim at the shore of a ocean beach, go on top of it via the pier or even ships no problem at all. It's only when you submerge down deep to an endless darkness that is still very unknown to mankind that it starts getting to me, also knowing water makes you very vulnerable as well.

Just take a damn bath already.

Did your mother force you to take a bath with your sister to get an accurate weight reading?

Surely ANY human being with blood flowing through their veins would find that scary?! 0_o

That's probably the one topic he hasn't stolen from somewhere else and posted here.

Damn ocean you scary!

But foreal. Even when you just go deep enough for waves to start influencing a lot of your movement. Everytime it pulls me towards the abyss Im like "Fuck, Im dead for sure this time"

I hate baths. It's a complete waste of water and time and you still feel icky after a bath. Give me a shower any day. But yeah guys phobias are nothing to joke around with.

You would think so but people don't talk about it that much so it makes me wonder.

I have an aversion to putting my head under water in general. While some people think I have a fear of "water", I more have a fear of not being able to breath whenever I want.

wow, you're scared of drowning in the dark, in a vast emptiness? what an uncommon fear. next you'll be telling me you've got an irrational fear of burning to death

I have trouble playing Donkey Kong water levels because of the ocean depth. I have no trouble playing a game with fire shooting at me left and right. Try again.

Were you uncomfortable playing Ecco, if you ever played it? That made me feel a little bleh.

Oh yes definitely. That giant crab thing scared the shit out of me. My brother one time got this game called Treasure of the Deep for the PS1 years ago and he loved it. The game scared the fuck out of me, though. I did try to play it a few times to face my fears but I stopped playing as soon as I encounter a huge ass whale.
