Dang, sounds like a really close call. That'll definitely buy you a phobia.
People can drown / get pulled far into deeper water p easily in some beaches, even in relatively shallow water (chest high). Just a few months ago a guy that owns a well known restaurant here tried to save someone from drowning in a situation similar to yours. He and 2 other people that also tried to help drowned trying to rescue the person, who also didn't make it. Was all over the news. Some beaches'll fuck you up.
Oh wow. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Can relate, but I'm more in the high discomfort zone than phobia.
That almost drowning must have been terrifying. Do you remember it or was it an early infancy thing?
Scary thought. Do you get a similar feeling about open ocean or is it space specifically?
Not my biggest fear but the idea of swimming in very deep water is very scary to me.
There are no unbiased agenda-free sources. Deal with it, embrace the post-truth endless swamp of noise, ads, shills, bots and lies we call "sources" and spare us the "my lies lie less lies than your lies". What ia this? Propaganda awareness amateur hour?
idk sounds like a bad justification
