Do You Have Thalassophobia?

by



Well? Do you?

Thalassophobia is a fear of water, more specifically its a fear of the vastness of the bodies of water, and the unknown and dangerous nature therein.

Its pretty spooky, I tell you what.

Thanks for watching!

  9. As for the plane on 14:00, you can't use any part of it after that, because most of it's parts are either damaged from impact (even smallest crack can become a reson of a catastrophe, since every part of plane is under constant pressure all the time)
    But mostly because metal parts probably started coroding from water, which is obviously very bad

  11. I feel like I have thalassophobia, I have to cover my eyes when I see maybe a super deep dark hole or cliff in the middle of the ocean, I also get scared when I see big sunken objects like ships or maybe weird statues. And animals in the ocean, sharks are fine but whales, despite how much I like whales(not my favourite animal, not even close) they can actually scare me even though I don’t have the fear of huge objects but I still hate how big they are. I especially hate it when people make it so it seems like a real video with a huge weird alien fish rising from the depths of the ocean, even though it’s not real and was either made CGI or everything is just 3D animated. And despite ALL of this I LOVE Subnautica, by far one of my favourite games of all time.

  15. Hey Greg! Maybe check out "ScaryInteresting" and react to their CaveDiving-accident-videos? Would be fun to get scared along with you and learn more about why exactly we will all never be diving EVER in our lives..
    And thanks for the video!

  20. I can trace where my thalassophobia must have began with when my family got taken out onto the boat of my dad's friend out into the Gulf of Mexico. It was going to be a day trip of fishing, swimming and fun, and the first time I was out on the water.

    Little things kept happening all day, such as us catching a baby hammerhead shark which let my 4-5 year old brain know these were shark infested waters, and being that young, I had sharks as something I was majorly scared of. Because it's always things like sharks and quicksand and whirlpools that we all are convinced are bigger problems than we are thanks to cartoons and movies.

    Next, while swimming, both of my parents got horribly stung by jellyfish. They'd swam right into a group of them. That was the first time I saw my parents in excruciating pain, both of them. I now knew even more so that the water was dangerous and I didn't want to be anywhere in it.

    The next thing to happen was I fell in the water. I'd been not listening to my dad about not sitting on the side of the boat, and that came to bite me when I slid off and head first into the water. Upside down and staring into this endless blue for what couldn't have even been more than a second with how fast by dad snatched me back up, but it was enough. I kept myself tucked into a corner of the boat and didn't move.

    And then, after all that, about the time we were going to head back to shore, the boat's engine stopped working. We couldn't move. I don't know what my dad's friend decides to finally call the coastguard, but we were out there for hours. So long it started to get dark. And then got pitch black. In a boat without its lights.

    You couldn't hardly tell the sky from the water. We were just suspended in this eternal back void. And there I was, sitting in that black void I knew to be filled with sharks and jellyfish that had hurt my parents and was so endless.

    And we started to hear this splashing. Far away at fiesta just one big splash. And it kept getting nearer. Maybe a minute would pass and we'd hear it again, closer now. By this point, no one was talking, and we were sitting in silence, only broken up by this large splash, getting closer still. Trying to see what it was would be useless – you looked out and saw nothing. But you heard it.

    The last splash we heard couldn't have been more than 10 feet from the boat, and even with my overactive imagination at the time, I couldn't have imagined what it was.

    And it was then that, finally, the coastguard has arrived. I don't know if I should have seen it's lights coming before then. I don't remember them coming upon us or seeing them from a distance. All I can remember is that splashing, and suddenly they were there. And we were safe.

    These days, I suffer from intense thalassophobia. Specifically, I'm afraid of deep dark water. I won't even get into a pool if it's in the shade. The thought makes me feel sick and dizzy and like my heart is in my throat. And I can trace it back to this incident in my childhood. An incident I'll bring up with my mother when I ask if she remembers the splashing too or if that was something I'd imagined. But she heard it too. It's never left me.

    And what's so odd is that my thalassophobia didn't manifest in my childhood – I was fine swimming even after that. It's only been in my adult years that this fear has began. It's like I couldn't fully process that situation until now.

  31. Gregbro, it looked like you were not having a fun time for some of these lol also I love the putto music 🎧 it’s relaxing and sounds a bit liminal. If Liminal Space was a sound, it’d be that.

  34. 00:33 It's for whatever reason spelled in Victorian-era English, so no wonder you were slightly confused while trying to read it.
    Spelled like that it would be pronounced "arkay-ological".

    00:58 People that are too dumb to spell, despite the fact that they're fresh out of highschool, should not be allowed to write anything on the internet. Ouch.
    Oh, same for people that are too damn dumb to hold the phone the right way when filming/taking pictures.
