Fear
So, AMA, I was browsing reddit and came across this photo: http://i.imgur.com/HQ6aJ.jpg
It triggered a near-panic feeling for me, and I started thinking about this irrational fear I have of submerged things. Just the thought of approaching this shipwreck or floating over it gives me the heebie-jeebies like whoa. I went snorkeling once, and was okay with the fish, but once I saw a sunken propeller I was back on the boat faster than I could have ever imagined. Another time, I was floating around a beach area in the Caribbean on a foam floatie thing, looked down, saw I was floating over a wrecked plane, and nearly drowned in my efforts to get the hell back on the beach.
Does anyone else have this fear?
If not, what irrational fears do you have? Do they stem from anything you experienced in the past, or do you just have the fear with no explanation?
