I've always been freaked out in deep open water if there's a potential of sharks around.
I am terrified of flying. I am a wreck right before I get on an airplane. That, and the ocean. I can only get in there for 10 minutes, I have this strong urge to run out and I won't go back in for the rest of the day. I've always been like that.
I'm afraid of open bodies of water. I was in a glass-bottomed boat that broke a long time ago, so I've always been kind of freaked out.
I have never bought a swim suit because of my fear for water.
I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?
I had water phobia since childhood without any reason as such.
I was so scared of the water when I was little. I used to grab onto Mum's hand to get out of the pool. I did not even want to shower.
To be anywhere near an enormous ocean liner when you are just like a fish in the water is frightening.
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
I never liked going in the ocean.
I was scared of water, so I learnt swimming.
I can't swim and I'm terrified of drowning, but I still love being by water - just not in it.
I am not a swimmer so a bit of phobia is always there with water stunts.
I grew up being scared of the water, which is embarrassing to say as an Australian, but it's true.
Open-water swimming scares the hell out of me.
If you can't swim, the idea of being in nine feet of water is terrifying, much less the ocean.
my love of water ... is mingled with and almost indistinguishable from a fear of water (I can float in a vertical position - I enter a fugue state - but I cannot bear to bury my face in water).
I'm very scared of water. When you don't see the water... I imagine monsters - stupid things.
I have a fear of water, believe it or not. To put a wire 12 feet over a swimming pool frightens me. I don't like water.
