The only thing I find scary about the ocean is just not being able to see the bottom. For some weird reason I get the feeling that something is going to grab my leg and pull me down...
Or just Sinking I cant swim very well so being stranded without the ability to tread water or go in any direction terriifies me (since i also almost drowned once)
@@SpiralAnimationssssss honestly to be even give yourself a slight chance of survival while being stranded in water you really only need to know how to float. cuz even if you can tread water it still takes lots of energy and you’ll get tired way before help will reach you. but knowing how to keep your body afloat will conserve energy and keep you alive for the mean time
I love the ocean always had a dream to be a marine biologist but I have this fear very much so. You can love something and be simultaneously afraid of it.
I'm absolutely horrified of the ocean, since I was little I was always scared of it. It gives me anxiety not being able to see or know what's down below. Not only the ocean but also rivers, lakes, etc. Of course its pretty, but that's it for me
I’m honestly more scared of the images of the deep water itself rather than the potential animals there. Don’t get me wrong, the animals are scary too, but something about the calmness of deep waters itself is extremely scary.
I must be the opposite of this. I love the sea. I wouldn't care if it killed me, I'd rather the beautiful yet merciless sea take my life than working for 40+ mundane years until I die from a heart attack
@@ronin7561 Honestly I’d rather die from a heart attack than drown. I don’t know when specifically, but somewhere around the age of 11, I developed a pretty bad fear against the water without knowing. And then I had swimming classes from age 11 - 13, which led me to hyperventilate every time I went into the water. Which then caused me to swallow a ton of water and drown almost every time. And that happened weekly. Yeah…I’m done with water.
@Brian Griffin A lot of people, including myself, will like comments without knowing or checking if it is true because we don't really care, and don't feel like putting in the time or effort tbh.
That makes me think of a scene described in one of the Narnia books where there was an ocean that was completely transparent, and you could see all the way to the ocean floor. I wonder if that would be more or less unsettling.
Ohhh, really 1:42 is real?? I'm intrigued, I can't believe that a real person is in that photo :0 that looks like a nightmare, going to an abyss (? (Srry for the mistakes, English is not my first language)
@@katara3797 abyss* but either way your English is great. (btw im not a certified uwu speller police ahaha so idk if i spelt abyss right, just a heads up to teach this person that abyss doesnt have a letter m)
When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars, wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. ~ Raleigh Becket, Pacific Rim
It’s from a movie so basically he was looking into outer space (upwards) and wondering if there was life,it turns out he was looking in the wrong direction(downward into the oceans)

The fact that the Titanic is still there, at this very moment, alone in the depths of the ocean, rotting away after more than a hundred years. Consumed by the dark & freezing cold waters. It is indeed very unsettling. Imagine the sound and the vibrations when both parts of the ship, hitting the ocean floor at kilometers speed, resonating in the cold distance like bells at funerals, announcing the hundreds and hundreds of deaths that occured that night.
......🙄umm are you ok? (Psst it's that daze again zoning out...) pffy😂 couldn't help it, needed to add this...but yes now that I think about it, it is scary.
Yeah that's such a good quote to describe it though. It's like you can't really see, and there's endless possibilities of other things down there that might be watching
I'm not afraid of swimming ive gone to the beach alot But these images are so creepy even without the music Like that sunken ship or that cave with the spike on it
I imagine if there's a deep meaning of "Hello I am under the water I am drowning please me heueheueheue" Where there's a man who was drowning till death surrounded by sharks and getting pierce by lots of sharp things
A common misconception about thalassophobia is that we are not afraid of the creatures, we are afraid of the unnerving darkness and emptiness of the ocean your lost in an endless void of water and that is the why I'm not scared of the leviathans in subnautica tbh they look pretty cool I am more scared when I'm just in the middle of the ocean, no monsters no sound just you
I’m not afraid of the ocean. Quite like it, actually. Throwing myself again the waves, making balls of wet sand, swimming from rock to rock until I go to the limit line. Glass-bottom boat rides and fishing with dad. Watching the sun glisten on the white peaks of the surf, shining on the distant waters. But when I plunge under, even with goggles, there’s nothing but sand. I can barely see two feet ahead of me. Sometimes, there’s a drop off. I remember a really steep drop off, though fully lit, and couldn’t bear to imagine it at night. I’ve heard of blue holes: areas in the ocean that have a pull that you can never escape, there’s footage somewhere of a diver going to recover the body of another diver, only to drown slow and alone. I’ve seen the underwater caves - small, tight spaces that go deep into the earth. I dreamt once that I was trapped in a cave like that, no light, just rough textures right next to my face as I floated and water rising up where no one could hear me scream. It haunts me even today, though I had it years ago. I’m not afraid of the ocean. I’m afraid of going down into claustrophobic darkness and never finding my way back up.
Me too, i am not afraid of the ocean. I am afraid of what in it, the feeling water touching my nose and mouth. Imagine when you are with your diving suit, but your feet got stuck and you tank broke. You desperately cover your face, hoping to trap that last bit air from escaping, soon you start to feel it, the saltines of sea water when it enter your nose and mouth. You panic and hopelessly use all of your strength to lift yourself out, but fail miserably. Your vision start to blur the moment water rushes into your throat, fill your quilted lungs with despair, suffocating you bit by bit. And the last moment of your life, you realize death maybe wasn't so bad at all
But from many sources i found, the amount of sea water can be squished into a big bubble of liquid a little bigger than Texas, so technically, ocean is tinier than we think. But the first time i went scuba diving, i pissed my pants because of how dark and scary it was.
@@trananbinhjerry6438 the Texas thing doesn’t sound right. The deepest point in the ocean that we know of is is longer than Mount Everest and water is 75% of the earth. Most places this water is very deep too. And where the fuck did you go diving 😂. All the times I went diving I swam around a pretty coral reef with colorful fish.
@@dagoat42bruh68 I missed type the information about the the whole Texas thing. I was meant to say that the surface area of the base is as big as texas, if flat out it will be bigger, but my point still stand. Because Everest is a peak of the Himalaya whike the deepest point in the ocean is just a narrow valley, even smaller than the great canyon, and water only cover 75% of the surface, Earth itself is just a giant solid. About the diving part, that's how i remember it. The water at that point was too deep so it's a bit greenish for some reasons so maybe i got freak out
@@trananbinhjerry6438 did you dive in New England? Maybe that’s why. I live there and the diving sucks. Go to Aruba, Mexico, or key west to dive. You’ll have a much better experience.
What really scares me is that there are unexplored depths of the ocean, where humans, can't descend, meaning that anything could be down there, and possibly come up with no problems. Edit: I know that for now, creatures haven't able to come up due to them being accustomed to different conditions, what I meant is that there is always a possibility that there's a new one down there that doesn't follow this rule. There's always a chance, no matter how small it is.
The problem is that we and the animals in the depths have adapted to our locations, so we probably wouldn't wanna cross paths. They can't come up so easily because of how they've adapted to their environment, and they're used to the nothingness. However, we are not and are too afraid of what's down there.
Actually if something were to live at that depth, coming up would kill it. Take the blob fish: it’s a normal fish until you pull it out of the water, and the lack of pressure causes it to basically melt. If we can’t get to something, chances are they can’t get to us either. You don’t have to fear what can’t reach you.
@@skipscrop like your gonna get killed at any moment. It’s a horrible anxious feeling that feels like hell. Just staring at those pictures and imagining that something like that could be out there makes me horrified
I’m not afraid of the dark because I know a monster and a evil spirit isn’t possible but in the ocean it’s just and infinite blue void all around you. Plus I can’t swim :L
The fact that you can get scared even in a pool, floating, looking down to the "void" and not knowing what's below you because the only thing you see is your feet, makes this phobia so scary.
I am most afraid atomic bombs or some other terrifyingly strong bomb. I am also afraid of infection (like wound infection) bees, any other stinging/biting insect, falling from heights too high, jellyfish that sting, (Not the ones the dude yeets back into the ocean), stingrays, drowning on a sinking boat, or plane crashes Damn, I have died in alot of lives XD
Im here because last night I had a dream I was in the ocean and I looked down and the water got darker and darker showing me how deep the water was. One of the scariest things I have ever dreamed of.
That would be fucking terrifying if you could see miles below you clear to the ocean floor. Not only would it invoke a fear of heights, it would also be so scary because of the sheer vastness of the void around you even if you can’t fall. The empty space, just open for miles, with individual living creatures far off in the distance stalking each other and even you.
For some reason, I like the feeling of seeing the infinite abyss of the ocean. i’m really interested in marine life, but the deep-sea has always fascinated me the most, only 8% is explored, and I want to find out what the other 92% is.
@☣️arki chan gamer☣️ see for me it's warpers. And reapers. And crabsquids... I once made the mistake of going to the mushroom forest. The one by the dunes, blood kelp zone and the underwater islands. Safe in the mushroom forest but I got terrified if I got to the boarders on all sides
whenever people ask me "why do you have thalassaphobia...sharks rarely kill people" its not the sharks im scared about. its the WATER. its the depth of the water, the darkness, the murkiness of the water. the fact that if i jump into the ocean and i look underwater and i can see NOTHING, just darkness and murkiness and something could come up and GRAB ME. thats whats so terrifying about the ocean, its the fact that you dont know ANYTHING about whats underneath. AGH I SCARED MYSELF WRITING THIS
@@meumundosecreto7694 Possibly 😂 I had a pretty rough couple of years from when I was 12 to like 15 or 16. I was literally terrified of having my eyes closed while being underwater. I never quit showering but I was really scared to be in the shower. Thank goodness it went away with time. I still get spooked every now and again but mostly I’m normal now lol.
@@Rachel-xg7hs the reason i stopped swimming was because i saw this short film of sharks in the pool and im not even kidding i thought there was one chasing me
I like how there's all the scary pictures that makes you think deeper or even getting scared and then there's a picture of a random chair on the deep ocean floor.
Imagine a realistic VR Game focused on these phobias, Thalassophobia, submechanophobia and others into one game when you're swimming a gigantic ocean with giant creatures around stalking you in the bottom, imagine if a game like that would exist. Edit: I know Subnautica has a VR version, but the point is to imagine a game that goes deeper in the phobias that i have mentioned in the comment.
I have the same feeling. Imagine swimming in deep fucking water and the visibility is like 30-40 feet and suddenly the nose of a supertanker comes by, followed by the MASSIVE hull, just being down there, next to such a large moving mass. The dull thrum of the engines....then the currents start pulling you UNDER the hull omg
I was snorkelling once, and I had my head above the water loooking for feeding manta rays above the surface ( I ended up seeing one it was really cool ) and my hand brushed a random seeweed and that was just about the most *unsettling* thing that’s ever happened to me
The most likely cryptids, animals or creatures that aren’t proven by science, most likely live there. The ocean is huge, full of life, and emptiness. The sheer size of it basically proves that there are things we haven’t seen yet
@Satori fisically that's imposible, This is because at its current size, the organism of a whale its working on its limits just to keep such a huge animal alive, everything bigger will most likely die under those same conditions, and even if that doesn't kill those creatures, the crushing pressure of the deepest parts of the ocean will certainly do
The way the objects fades or hard to see when affar makes it terrifying for me, especially when you see a marine animal that you didin't know existed or something is pulling you down into the depths
One day, I'm going to take me and my mom swimming with humpback whales and swimming with orcas. Hopefully I'll never encounter a sperm whale though since it's voice is twice as loud a shuttle taking off and you could literally just he paralized and die from the sound, it will mess up your insides. Yet some people still study them I'll close since that's the only way to study them properly. Humpbacks are pretty loud too but I don't think they click as often and they are not as loud as the sperm whale
@@ForwardTu true but they have never attacked humans when they are free. They are basically oversized dolphins with a different color. Their teeth are pretty scary though
Imagine you are scuba diving when you come across a group of people sitting in lawn chairs. None of them have a suit on, one of them is drinking a soda pop. Suddenly they all turn to look at you.
About a year ago i used to love these kind of images, and I'd have absolutely no fear of diving as deep as possible, however around the same time I dove so goddamn deep my eardrums burst and the pain was so intense i almost drowned and from that day since everytime i go underwater i get stressed and i hate it, I really wanna go back to the time where i didnt care how deep or for how long I was underwater
All the images is fine with me, but gosh, when there’s a picture with camera looking down into abyss with light just fading down to pitch black - it’s fucking terrifying
It looks hilarious because of how out of place it is, like planes and ships on the bottom of the sea is sad because something bad happened, but a random ass chair? Whats the story behind that
@@williamstoneman6977 People toss a lot of stuff in the ocean, ocean currents and sea creatures spread it across. That or maybe it fell out of a cruise ship or smthn.
I'm crying literal tears because not only did this comment scare me, but I also imagined what would come out at me, and it was a fucking five nights at Freddy's jumpscare in my brain In conclusion I'm cry laughing on my bedroom floor
@@ayianaramirez2688 idk why but I’m imagining that I’m exploring one of those rusty old abandoned ships underwater and Elmo just says “Welcome to Sesame Street” and drags me down into the abyss.
I have Thalassophobia and what scares me the most is the idea of being so helpless when you're in the water, like you can't just run or swim fast from potential danger. I shudder when I see how dark the ocean/sea looks like from the surface.
I found the Reaper at the Aurora to be the most terrifying thing in the game. Even on my like 10th playthrough, I only feel scared going to the Aurora, because you are so helpless against the Reaper. Any other Reaper, like the few in the Mountains, I don't fear as by then I have a Stasis Rifle to protect myself. But it is always, always the Aurora that scares me.
@@MrGREENWORLD95 I was just about to comment the same thing I dont think it was the same ad tho I saw the comment and was so excited for the silence at the end for there only to be an ad right as the video ends😭😂
for me, it’s when i see gigantic machines or anything made of metal being corrupted by rust and swallowed by the haziness of the deeper parts of the sea that freaks me out the most, more than any other examples. i don’t know what it is about them being manmade specifically that sends shivers down my spine. small, dark, tight spaces, i’m fine with, but when i see something massive engulfed into nothingness; with clouds, this works too, especially when it’s an open field and the clouds are dark grey. both makes me feel so small and insignificant
Same!!! I'm generally fine with large deep dark waters, sharks and animals don't really freak me out either, and I love swimming. But the thought of being in the water next to a ship or oil platform is terrifying. Swimming near a large submarine? Absolute horror.
Me too. Its horrible, I don't like it. It's not the whole "what could be lurking beneath" vibe that scares me about water. Its being underneath water and how time just slows down and you're not sure if you'll come back out and you're not sure if anyone will hear you under there just trying to get back up and breathe. I hate it it makes me shakey every time. I feel like the most unsettling picture is a chair underwater. Just the thought. Of being somehow unable to get off that chair while the surface of the water is so close but so far. No I don't like it.
