22 photos proving that the fear of water is not a joke to you!

Surely, you have heard about hydro- or aquaphobia — the fear of entering the water, swimming and, most importantly, drowning. It turns out that there is another phobia associated with water. We are talking about thalassophobia.

Thalassophobia is a fear of deep bodies of water, for example, seas or oceans. A person suffering from thalassophobia is not afraid to swim, but even to be near such objects. And the 22 photos that we have collected in this collection largely explain where this fear comes from.
