Is it normal to be scared of water?

18 Comments

I am scared of the water.
Ok since I have been watching river monsters I have worried that one day I will get eatin by a fish. Mostly because river monsters came down to the lake that I live on and said that we had Puranas!!! And I have seen so many killer cat fish!! Now I am super scared and what scared me the most is that my friend told me about a book that had a river that is pitch black and that If you get near it a hand will pull you in!!! Is my fear of water normal??

    I was scared of grass when I was a toddler. My parents sometimes put me on a towel in the middle of the garden if they didn't want me to run away :(

    I think fear of large expanses of water or fast flowing are a fairly common phobias (but fear of something like a glass of water isn't normal). It really depends if it's stopping you enjoying life or not; if it is I'd see someone to help "cure" the phobia.

      That's so cute.

      When I was a toddler I thought my sister was allergic to grass because she would always itch herself after she played outside on the grass. I would do the same because I thought it was normal. I never even thought grass was itchy.. I love grass.

    You know, your body is like 60-70% water. Oh dear.

    Even scarier than water is your grammar and spelling. Come to Leningrad primary school, we will teach you a thing or two. Here, take a Molotov cocktail to protect yourself against the nasty "puranas".

    Lots of people are afraid of water. Some are afraid of the soap that accompanies it.

    Puranas you need to watch out for, are they anything like Piranhas?

    I saw a killer Cat fish once.

    Yes and no. I think your imagination is getting carried away a bit! But I'm sure it's a common thing to be anxious over (particularly for any non-swimmers.) Vast expanses of water make me feel nervous, especially when you can't see to the bottom - which most of the time, you can't. I'm not a fan of being in/on a boat unless it's a really big boat....

    It's a cool show.

    And it's normal to be afraid of some water, like water in the wild, but not water you drink or a pool.

    Tell Jeremy he's scared you! He may think it's cool.

    There are no river monsters. The water offers a lot of great things, and you'll be missing out on a lot of fun experiences if you don't get over your phobia.

    Stop watching River Monsters. My 6th grade teacher said that he doesn't watch anything scary. That's how he is never scared of anything. Yeah, he sounds boring, but I guess he was pretty cool. I love being scared sometimes.
