Phobias...lets talk!!! <3

I have submechanophobia (and mild trypophobia) (•᷄- •᷅ ;) 

 'Submechanophobia is  the intense, irrational fear of partially or entirely submerged man made objects, People who experience this phobia feel profound dread, panic, or unease when near items like shipwrecks, underwater statues, submarines, old ruins, or things like pool drains' 

for me it's specifically vehicles and mechanical objects like cogs, animatronics and tracks, so log flumes, water rides and basically most theme parks are out of the question LMFAOOOO, I've had this phobia since I was a kid, tbh my parents/family didn't understand it and just thought I was being difficult (ㅠ﹏ㅠ) 

my phobia is pretty bad, I've passed out before because I was jumpscared by a fucking JAWS animatronic on a video, I get panic attacks/cry easily in the face of cars in water which is really iconic behaviour tbh :3333 (sarcasm is sarcasm lel)


feel free to google some related images (I'd rather di3 LMFAOOOO) but yeah! thats my weird//unexplained phobia 

that being said this is a safe space and NOW I WANNA KNOW YOURS!!!! ദ്ദി( • ᴗ < )

((bonus points for any fellow submechanophobes!!!)) <3 


                    anywayssss, I hope yall are having a good day! Goosey out :DD

Hi! Hope you're doing well.

I googled it and wow there are pretty scary animatronic images, but I don't feel the same with shipwrecks or submarines, I feel more scared of what sea creatures could live there than the actual object.

That brings me to my next point, I think I have Thalassophobia, Agoraphobia and Acrophobia but I'm not sure if my feelings are strong enough to call them a phobia, it's more of a "I don't feel comfortable" situation than a panic attack.

Thanks to Plesiosaur, being in a place full of strangers and living on the 10th floor of a building has given me those phobias :D (that's sarcasm, I hate them).

Thanks for reading bye! :3

This applies to everyone but I have...thanatophobia(fear of dying) to an extent.

I had an allergy reaction that went to anaphylactic shock when I was a kid. I almost died. So it adds to it
