I used to have a nasty fear of fish when i was a kid. So bad, that I wouldn't step foot in a lake, river, ocean. Every time my mom took us to the beach..I sat out making sand castles.
I have this fear, too. Mine is, more specifically, a fear of fish touching me. I'll go in the ocean because there aren't too many fish by the shore (at least this is what I think, so please nobody ruin that delusion for me if it's false). I get squeamish about lakes and rivers because I can SEE the fish. You should've seen me when we went snorkeling in Hawaii... any time a fish would swim near me, my husband could hear me saying "EWWWWWW!" under the water. Haha. I liked looking at them from afar but not when they came close enough to touch me.
Exactly! I was afraid of them touching me. Of course, being a child of the 70's movies like Jaws and Orca sure didnt help..lol. Funny thing, I loved to fish when I was a kid...but I would have to have someone bait my hook and take the fish off the line because there was no way in hell i was having one touch me. I still have the phobia in a sense. I can swim in the ocean, because like you, my mind tells me all the fish are in the deep end. I still won't swim in a lake.
