Can someone explain why open water is terrifying to me. Also what irrational fears do you have anon?
I think it`s the same reason why some people are afraid of the dark. Because of the unknown that lies within.
I hate sharks. ffs they look so fucking scary
I freak out if I can't see the bottom of the water. I can swim well but i fucking lose it. Like boats and fish a little but fuck man need to be able to see the bottom
I used to wet my bed until I was 26, maybe there is some correlation?
>>680137436
I am afraid of receiving and making phonecalls.
>>680137941
I wet the bed until 17.
>>680137901
this. everytime i look down into deep water and i can`t see the bottom i imagine some big fish like a shark or whale swimming right at me at any moment.
I'm not great at high places... makes me act weird
>>680137436
I always feel like someone is out to get me. I always conceal carry a handgun when I go out in public. I am in a constant state of hypervigilance.
itsbasicly just survival instinct. humans are not meant to live in the water and there are many animals that could harm you. the fear is just the signal to leave the water and return to the land.
I want to /b afraid of something. What should I be afraid of
>>680137436
Because it should be.
Fuck sharks or marine life.
You fall overboard, capsize and you're stuck floating in open water waiting to drown or die from dehydration. Just give me a gun to check out quick.
>>680138247
Where do you live anon?
>>680137436
Now imagine that but at night... Does it get worse, right?
>>680137436
this is a a save your environment ad you fucktard
>>680138326
puns
>>680137436
I fucking hate the ocean. The unknown aspect is what gives me goosebumps the most. We've only explored a fraction of it. Many species of marine life are fucking terrifying, there are undiscovered sea creatures, fuck knows what else.
>>680138459
Are you drunk anon?
>>680138033
I did until puberty. maybe 11.
>>680138446
Vermont.
>>680137436
I get a weird rush being in the middle of open waters. It feels good to me, and as a result I get super relaxed. Some people don't like that feel. Just like how some people like the rush of gambling and other don't.
>>680138326
Facing reality.
>>680137436
i wouldn't agree that fear of open water is irrational
Because the deep is where the aliens are.
>>680137975
I hear ya brother.
>>680137436
I like master chief. eh shoots aliens and doesnt afraid of anything.
>>680137901
>>680137941
You should drop some acid and go swimming where you can't see the bottom. It took away my fear permanently.
slugs and snails make me flip my shit, i have no idea why but when i see one i just hit panic mode
>>680137436
I have the fear of going outside and having a girl talk to me...
>>680137436
I have an irrational fear of faggots and faggotry in general and you are triggering me.
>>680137975
Same, and checking my college email in fear I missed an assignment or am failing something XC
>>680137436
Fear of the unknown
>>680138247
Tonight at 11: Paranoid schizophrenic man pulls his LEGAL handgun and kills like a bunch of people
>>680138459
i dont even know what you wrote anon
I'm afraid of dementia.
stop
watertime
I have a fear of open water, and water deep beneath me. I have tried surfing many times, and once I get out for a while, I start fucking panicing.
I also can't swim alone in pool at night.
>>680138946
Really? I don't know if that is such a good idea. I've never done acid before!!!!
This is fucking horrible and makes me want to cry
>>680137436
you have rabies
>>680138667
>Just like how some people like the rush of gambling and other don't.
No those people are addicts.
>>680139181
Why? It's not like you can remember that you have it.

This.
>>680137941
>>680138033

Yes because that's obviously safe anon
>>680139316

I have the fear of taking a shower when Hitler is waiting in front of it.
>>680139224
i feel you, i would faint if i would dive down there
im scared shitless of the ocean and just in general large waters where you cant see the bottom
>>680139109
You're dumb.
>>680139224
O.O He could just be jumping into a giant sea creatures mouth and not know it
>>680139442
really? I find it is always better to know where the hitler is. Mostly when Hitler attacks, it is because he is also scared and afraid. It is best not to surprise him with your jewry for example.
Everyone is beta faggot pussy retard autist.
This thread is full of nerds.
>>680138288
This. We can neither swim well compared to fight nor do we have gills and to make it worse every fish just below us will know that we're there on a sunny day because of our outline blocking the sunlight.
We're as helpless as toddlers out there.
>>680137975
i have this, too. Went to a psychologist and got therapy. this is an actual medical phobia he said.
>>680139316
FUCK THAT so hard
To me it's the fear of knowing anything could be out there to get me and that I can't see the bottom. Also the ocean even scares me in video games, I just get really afraid of not seeing the bottom.
>>680139469
I am sort of afriad of heights, and I made myself go skydiving.. not tethered, but actually climbed out on the wing of the plane and jumped myself. ( only with 12 foot ripcord though )
and it was FUCKING AWESOME! as soon asI got down I wanted to go again.
but the water fear, I can't fucking control it. I feel like I am about to be disemboweled the whole time. I have tried many many times, I love being in ocean and swimming, but once I am out and there is nothing under my feet, and getting touched by kelp and shit... I stay out for 30 minutes, and then suddenly panic paddle in.
>shame
>>680139560
*meant to write fish instead of fight.
Also the sea is fucking cold, I might add. We'd just lose our normal body temperature after a while and then drown. No bottom visible just sums up all the risks.
>>680139210
Yeah I used to afraid of snapping turtles and not being able to see or touch the bottom but then I swam the whole lake in jeans not even planning on it.
>>680138381
And then when you do drown, it takes like 2 fucking hours till you get to the bottom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v11b84Okcm8
watch this cool shit. music is awesome.
>>680139316
Anyone knows the story to this?
>>680139385
You won't panic and drown unless you take way too much and are dingus
>>680139891
btw this asshole is holding his breath the whole time. I'm sure its many different shots, but still.
>>680140015
sounds like terrible idea bro
>>680137901
I have jumped off a few boats on holiday but the fear I get after and rush back on the boat is terrifying
>>680137975
That's called telephobia, if anyone was wondering.
I'm with op, but to a larger extent, I wont go in ponds or lakes for any reason, even if I can see the land on the other side. I'll go near them to fish or whatever, but I wouldn't go in them.

Guy goes spelunking and gets trapped for a while while the water rushes in. This is actually his plan because he has cancer and the chemo didn't treat him too well (too conscious about his baldness, and just wants to end it. Moments after this webm ends he evolves into a fish because thats what evolutionists believe.
>>680140296
I've done plenty of acid, and it never cured me of shit. I'm glad it worked for you, but I'm gonna say that "exposure while tripping" is a shitty form of therapy.

I get extremely nervous when I am in the room with taller and stronger men. For whatever reason, I feel like they are going to sexually violate me.
>>680137436
You should start by snorkeling or diving in shallow water, or in reefs. You will develop a taste for submarine creatures and be more and more curious for deeper creatures.
I am myself a diver and there are so many sea animals that I wish to see that are so beautiful. Ill dump some to prove my point.
>>680140652
you can float because you are a fatty mcfatfat. You have webbed fingers because god is testing your beliefs.

Your own mortality
>>680140802
yeah I can't get past that feeling I'm about to be disemboweled by something beneath me.
So I have panic of under water machnary, structures.... I dont know why
>>680140917
If you see what is under you or beside you, you wont be scared. I am talking about reef of about 2 meters deep. All my pictures are taken from shallow reefs where there is absolutely near zero risk of having dangerous animals attacking you on purpose.
>>680140296

>>680141018
Bullshit you're just taking these pictures through aquarium glass
I've sky dived, flown a jet, been mountaineering in the middle of nowhere, been bogged in literally the middle of Australia and the Sahara with nothing for 500km. I'm on virgins list of people waiting to go into space. I've been up on the Shanghai tower and a few others. Didn't bat an eye lid. And yet... Water - deep water... Scares the shit out of me.
>>680141392
>And yet... Water - deep water... Scares the shit out of me

I did not say I took these pictures myself, but if you want, I can show you some pic from myself, while I snorkle. Give me a minute.

Im 20 and still like once a year wet the bed. I once peed in my girlfriends bed while asleep, I felt so bad I was on the verge of tears. She hopped in the shower with me and made it all ok though. Is it normal like once a year?
Well I am really afraid of gas giants in videos or games.
Playing ksp or eve online and the planets filling my screen or areobreaking are more frightening than any horror movie or story I have ever heard. Can't even touch space engine without having a heat attack...
The endless atmosphere and size of them.. Ugh can't even think of that..
The idea of being drugged and tied up while evil surgeons mess up my body.

1. We're aquatic apes
2. You have pretty much no chance of being killed by an aquatic creature if you are using the smarts of modern man and don't go into waters known to contain dangerous creatures at the times they are known to be most active during the worst conditions
Shit some pics are over 3 Mb
>>680141592
I have a fear of space. Dead Space fucked me up. Good game, but because of my fear it was just intense. I hate the idea of horrors that could be out there. Eldritch monsters and such also scare me.
>>680141392
Wow you're just fucking too extreme aren't you?
>>680137436
i'd be scared of really deep dark caves because of the lava that "might" erupt there at any second

It's only normal if you've been drinking heavily or some other powerful sedative is involved. Don't sweat it though because you can literally shot on a good woman while you're sleeping and she'll stay by your side.
I've been around water my whole life and love it. However, I'm terrified of having my arms pinned by my side. I have nightmares regularly of being trapped trying to remove a jacket, or getting a hand caught in a pocket, unable to freely move. If I can't move my arms I go nuts.
>>680141586
just lie and say you have some bladder issues ( medical thing )
>>680141955
It's never to do with drinking heavily or anything, it just kinda happens
>>680142042
We sleep together too often for that. And we've been together for a long time, it didn't freak her out or anything

Water bugs. The things that look like roaches on steroids. I'm down with anything else, most other bugs, spiders, snakes, horror movies alone in the dark. Nothing strikes fear into my heart except a fucking harmless bug and it pisses me off
I'm afraid of sleep paralysis and nightwalking incidents.

Horseflies and their bites.
>>680142558
Its happened to me quite a bit its the fucking worst XC just about a month ago I wake up for some reason and see a black shadow figure standing in corner of my room and I am unable to move as he just stares at me. I started sweating and finally after it felt like forever I could move again, go throw up then proceed to watch rick and morty to try and calm myself :l
>>680142349
My father died holding my hand two and a half years ago, and I still have nightmares about watching him die all over again, and every time he just wastes the time he has left instead of telling me he's proud of me or whatever. For the longest time I was afraid to fall asleep knowing I might have to watch it all over again.
>>680142558
Yes it has almost sent me into a full blown panic attack many times.
I'm fascinated by open water. I guess because I've lived in the middle of fucking Texas my whole life and have never seen the ocean.
My irrational fear is of germs. I carry individually wrapped handwipes with me everywhere - two in each jacket pocket, two in my left pants pocket, one in each sock, and a box of backups in my car and backpack. I also carry a fuck-ton of tissues for opening doors and touching grocery cart handles.
I know it's stupid, but I can't help it. I also wash my hands so often that they crack and bleed quite a lot.

I#m not afraid of water, at all. last year i've been sailing in the baltic sea, tied myself to a rope and jumped off the boat. been in there for like 5 minutes, water was maybe like 30 meters dee. there where probably some porpoises beneath me and this thought is fucking amazing. That doesent mean, i have no respect of sea creatures (or any other animal). You don't fuck with them, they don't fuck with you, easy as that. That i'm nt afraid of water might be, because i spent a lot of my chilhood on an offshore island.
On the Contrary, being buried freaks me out. i cant imaginge being under the ground and fouling after i died. Also, mountains are kinda weird. i'm used to see the horizon or at least being able to look far. Looking around and seeing a giant wall of stone doesn't scare me, but i feel kinda uncomfortable.
>>680137436
Not irrational, that's survival.
You know things can and will eat you in there and you can drown
Makes a shit ton of sense to me
>>680142894
>I'm fascinated by open water. I guess because I've lived in the middle of fucking Texas my whole life and have never seen the ocean.
I'm kind of the opposite. I'm fascinated by large areas of land, including deserts. It's probably because I've lived in New Zealand my whole life which is literally 100% urbanised and surrounded by ocean.
Also do your hands crack and bleed due to dermatitis or something? Because you can get stuff for that.
>>680137436
Probably because the majority of the planet is covered in deep dark water with trenches that could go miles beneath the surface that hasn't ever been explored with new species being discovered every year in places where life isn't supposed to thrive.
>>680144435

I actually think this dude might be serious. I've taken acid at the lake before while kayaking. Normally when I look outside the kayak into the water I'm afraid something big is going to come out. While on acid I just stared at the swirling water and murky clouds. I think I was too amazed by the beauty to think it could hurt me.

You must have been making some massive generalisations on your exploration south of the Bombay Hills, if you actually believe this.
NZ has vast swathes of untarnished native bush all over the place, both islands.
Stay off the bong.
>>680146908
HOLY SHIT DUDE. I Used to love that fucking game. The last hunt where you hunt the Megaladon is so fucking scary, always needed the explosive tip spears or that really poisonous one. Fuck I might download that today.
>>680145560
I had a similar experience in the forest at night. Found myself standing in the woods trying to decide if I should be afraid. I remember doing a checklist in my head of possible dangerous creatures in my area. Then I went through them to find potentialy aggressive animals, I remember debating if mountain lions were in my area. Unless it is pitch black I now have no fear of the woods. It feels like a large open area that is comfortable, as opposed to closed in and surrounded by danger.
>>680147755
Yeah it was a great game, really managed to capture that creepy underwater feel.
Wish they'd remake it.

The creepiest map was probably the deep water one at night with the shipwrecks. Man I can't believe you brought up that game, I haven't played that shit since I was a kid.
I've been on plenty of planes before but for some reason I have somewhat frequent nightmares about them plummeting into the ocean or just fucking up in general while airborne
>>680148451
The deep water one, that was the one with the hammerhead sharks right?
that was a neat one, the game would have greatly benefited from more creepy maps like that.
I love how the last missions mentions a "Megalodon" but then you fucking find the sunk ship from Jaws!
Epic stuff, Always loved this game and the 3 Carnivores ones.

Okay then maybe I was wrong, I just thought I learnt years ago that the wild we had here was all owned by a council or something which technically meant it wasn't wilderness, but I was probably wrong. Anyway I don't plan to get into geography so it doesn't matter.
Attaching this pic so that I'm actually contributing something this time.
>>680148529
Yeah man fuck that. The only phobia I have is that of deep water. I used to hate swimming in pool deep ends because I couldn't convince myself that there wasn;t a shark in there even though I could look and see the bottom.
>>680148232
>Microsoft doesn't have any soft, it's all owned by someone
>>680148861
Hell yeah lol. Did you ever play Primal Prey? Pretty much the same idea only you hunted 9 or 10 different species of dinosaur on this one map. You could track them by footprints, you could hunt at 4 different times of day and night and the predators would hunt the other dinosaurs just as much as they hunted you. Shit was baller as hell.
>>680137436
In a previous life it's very likely you were drowned, eaten by sharks, etc. The subconscious memory is still there.
The average person reincarnates 1,500 times.

Do you realise that that is fake? His internal organs would be fucked at that point.
>>680149222
It's actually a perfectly explainable evolutionary mechanism. Humans are likely to die in deep water. Having an instinctive fear of water was a gene that propagated because it saved lives. It's just like being afraid of the dark. Being out of your element as a human is dangerous.
it terrifies me to know that I'm a slave to the international powers, something that was set in motion hundreds of years ago and has slowly stripped away mankind's individuality
>>680149175
Never played that, will have to give it a look!
did you play the Carnivores remake? people seem to be hating on it. but I was never bothered by the slow paced gameplay of the originals so I might actually like it.
>>680149561
You get over it after a few years. There's nothing you can do.

I'm not as paranoid as you seem to be, but I do they same. Carry a .45 Colt Defender on my person & keep a full frame .45 & a Glock .40 locked up in a safe under my seat. I've even driven around with an M4 or AK at certain times, depending on the situation, but keep the rifle, ammo & mags separate, so it's legal. I also carry a soft handgun case with a couple knives, extra cash, a multi-tool and some knucks in my car.
I assess everything wherever I go and always plan a way out of a public building.
I carry everywhere too. Don't give a fuck about gun free zones because that's where shit goes down. If I go to one of my kids' plays at their schools or drop off/pick up- I carry on school grounds. Also, carry in theaters, malls, etc. Everywhere... Fuck it. No one knows and the only time I'd have to pull it is in a life or death situation and no prosecutor is going to do shit to someone who defends themselves and others, even in a retarded gun free zone.
But anon, I don't think you're weird or in any way wrong. You're being a fucking man; using your instincts to protect yourself and others if needed. People that aren't like us will curl up in a fetal position and whimper like pussies. Keep it up. You're doing God's work.

nah, the story was that this is some place thats actually really close to the surface (like close enough for an amateur to swim down to in1 breath) but because of how it looks there was some rumor going around that it was a world record freedive which was believed by many until the dude in the video came clean
>TL:DR that place is actually only as deep as a freshman taking philosophy 101
>>680149607
Yes. You can. Spread the word, no matter how crazy people are or how resistant they are to the truth. Also, vote with your money. Stay out of the market casino, deal with only locally owned small banks, don't purchase items or use services that have any globalist affiliation, etc.
I cant keep the door to my room open if i do it feels like someone will jump out of the darkness and slice me up like ham
dark forests spook me out

You can find this on yt with sound. He got stuck but after a while he backed out and all is fine

Is that a euphemism for your father having his way with you?

The human body doesn't have much issue with free diving, provided you equalise your ears.

If some animal outside ate my cats and dogs and kept me up by making noises in the woods every night and generally made my life shittier and scarier, I would be pissed and want to fight that monster.
If I went looking for him and found out that he was actually a pack of 50 foot monsters with hyper intelligence, I would have to adjust my life around dealign with those 50 foot monsters rather than fighting them.
At one point I would agree with you, but I've learned enough now to be afraid of the beast.

Do you know what pressure is?

As a commercial dive supervisor and recreational scuba instructor. Yes, I have a very thorough understanding of pressure.
>I come to these threads to lol at you pussies
I cant stand being under water. I have no idea where the fear if from and Im working on it very slowly, but fuck its so bad I dont even like being under water in fucking games. My wife thinks its funny as hell but it sucks. Im getting better playing games like Ark, GTA, etc. I tell myself I know whats under there just do it. I think its a fear of not knowing whats under the water, Too many underwater Horror movies as a kid maybe, no idea. But if your 10 and see leviathan it will fuck you up.

you pussies just need educating. As you said, irrational fear. Watch some documentaries on the ocean and videos on diving and surfing. You'll realize the ocean is for the most part empty, and the majority of sharks and ocean predators don't give a fuck you exist because they eat fish.
>>680150942
Most phobias aren't that easy to get rid of, some people never get rid of certain phobias. This is an instinct that some people have, it is legitimately the strongest fear I have besides death itself.
step your game up you fucking pussies
>>680151083
Fuck that, dude. What a way to fucking die.
>>680150616
Hah me too, but I think thats because I got stabbed in school and was forced to study something I wasn't good at.
shit like that tends to fuck with your self esteem and the way you experience the world.
>>680150830
>I have too much free time because my job is to teach fat tourists to put on scuba gear.
Ayy
>>680139187
I can swim in a pool at night if it's lit up, which most are. I have the same fear of open water though
Im a diver, and I used to be scared of the Ocean but once you realise how big it is its not even that bad. I bumped into a pufferfish the other day and was like oh Hello there.
if im watching a movie and they go underwater with no gear I always hold my breath too just to see if I can survive if im ever in that situation, anyone else do this?
also 90% of the time the answer is because those motherfuckers hold their breath for 10 damn minutes
>>680151274
More like hot backpackers.

Imagine diving into a deep, dark hole like this one, only to be slowly devoured by small, unseen creatures, picking at you with their little mouths, tearing at you with their pincers.
A little flash of bioluminescent light to reveal the walls are covered in small sea creatures.
Then an eye opens at the bottom of the pit...

Whenever I put my back towards the Dark, I just panick and want to gtfo as fast as I can without seeming completely an asshole.
>>680151548
No, not the same kind of game.
Shark! is story based and you're all alone, Depth is full on action deathmatch.
Both create a way different feel for the player.
Same with Carnivores, its a solo experience. you can't compare that to games where there's 2 sides and little Johnny from down the street is chasing you as a T-Rex.

This is a basking shark not a megamouth shark, megamouth has a stub head and is very rare

Hey OP I have had this fear for the LONGEST time dude. I originally went snorkeling in Hawaii, and I was like wow theres no sharks this is beautiful. Fast forward to Cabo, I get the chance to do scuba. Wow theres no sharks this is great!!! I decide to get certified. Well I live out in California and I have a beach house up in pismo so I dived a couple times down central coast well everything was awesome until my 4th or 5th time, I was near the bottom of a kelp forest checking out where some clams were and looking at some stuff (found coins and a pair of glasses). Well i notice a shadow around I couldnt see very well because whatever it was I thought it was a whale but when I looked above me maybe 10 ft, it was like a fucking 20' great white and 1 or 2 pups but the thing was like the size of my truck, so I just chilled down there while it sort of circled and went around the kelp and stuff, ( i think it was looking for seals) but the fucking thing hung around the area where my little panga was and so going up to the boat and climbing in was like the scariest thing I have ever had to do in life. You can call someone underwater to help you...You cant scream....Your alone...helpless....I have some dive equipment for sale.
>>680151083
>>680151205
Yeah. Pretty bad. Yet again, when you drown in salt water, you're not choking on the water. You're choking on your own blood, because the water dries out your lungs, filling your esophagus with blood. You die because your body can't handle the water, not because there's too much.
Being burned to death would probably still hurt worse.

Here's what scares me. When I jump into water in a lake or ocean, I can tell the body of water is huge, but it feels like it's closing in on me. I don't have claustrophobia or fear of large spaces, but combining them terrifies me.

Heard it from some random youtube video a some years ago, plus directly asking bio teachers in both high school and college... not sure where to find the info other than doing a simple google search.

>In cases of fresh water drowning, the water filling someone’s lungs is considered ‘hypotonic‘ to the blood. The fresh water seeps its way into the blood stream where it dilutes your plasma/electrolytes. This causes the red blood cells to swell up and eventually burst.Drowning in salt fresh or fresh water
>Also, and more obviously, the fluid filling a person’s lungs will prevent the body from taking in enough air. Not being able to take in air means your body can’t get the much needed oxygen it needs to function. This will lead to eventual cardiac arrest. An individual who is drowning will likely be unconscious before the heart stops, however.
>Drowning in saltwater is an entirely different beast. When the lungs fill with saltwater, it has the opposite effect and becomes ‘hypertonic‘ to the blood passing nearby. The plasma in our blood gets sucked into the lungs and fills it, preventing gas/air exchange. No air exchange, no oxygen entering the bloodstream. Without oxygen, our hearts give up and we go unconscious and eventually die.

Another explanation:
>Drowning involves suffocating while in water. You don't even need to breathe in the water for this occur, but if you do inhale salt water, the high salt concentration prevents the water from crossing into lung tissue. If you drown in salt water, it's usually because you can't get oxygen or expel carbon dioxide. Breathing in salt water acts as a physical barrier between the air and your lungs. If the salt water is removed, you can breathe again.
>However, that does not mean there won't be lingering effects! Salt water is hypertonic to the ion concentration in lung cells, so water from your bloodstream enters your lungs to compensate for the concentration difference.
>Your blood thickens, putting strain on your circulatory system. The stress on your heart can lead to cardiac arrest within 8 to 10 minutes. The good news is, it's relatively easy to rehydrate your blood by drinking water, so if you survive the initial experience, you are well on the road to recovery.
tl;dr inhaling saltwater creates a barrier between the lungs and the bloodstream, so even if your head is above the water, you want get oxygen into your bloodstream. To make it worse, blood has water, and this one permeates into the lungs to balance the ion concentration.
Salt water has a lot of salt ions dissolved in it, and is on one side of the permeable barrier (lungs). The blood is on the other side of the barrier, and so to balance the amount, water from the blood permeates into the lungs, which causes, one, to have more water in your lungs blocking the oxygen exchange, and two, makes the blood flowing in your veins thicker.
Whenever I'm driving on the highway and switch lanes I always have a fear that I missed a car on my blindside and that they ram me from behind. Weird since I've never been in a crash before.
I mostly dislike technology and water mixing. Ive seen electricity fuck people up. The thought of being in water and seeing an electric main line come near is horrifying.
