Are you afraid of ocean creatures?

I am.

Everytime I go in the ocean I'm stricken with extreme paranoia about whats touching my feet or around me, or what could be lurking nearby.

I've been scared of jellyfish, sharks, stepping on crustacians, and all those crazy lookin fish with the razor sharp teeth.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could swim as proficiently as I could walk/run.

But in water, my chances of survival have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY.

Am I the only one here who feels this way?

I would feel the same way if I were the amazon rain forest, or a similar type of jungle.
However, I don't feel that way in the ocean.

not really. i suppose there's no way of not being afraid of deadly ocean creatures, but for the most part, common ocean creatures are generally harmless. spending time in the ocean makes it a lot easier over a long time.

I am both fascinated and scared of deep sea creatures. I would love to go in one of those submarines and witness these creatures with my own eyes, but at the same time I'd be scared out of my wits with some of the stuff I might see.

I like looking at them, not so much being in contact with them.

Dont worry, its prolly just your friendly neighbourhood Cthulhu

The only thing in the ocean that I like are dolphins and seals. I especially don't like the creatures with more than 4 legs..... eewww!!

I'm terrified of ocean creatures. Horseshoe crabs are like my worst fear. :(

The only ocean things that I'm not afraid is Dolphin. Cuz they looks friendly to human.

No worries it's just the ocean :)

The ocean doesn't scare me

Giant bristle worms scare me. You'd be swimming casually underwater, poking around a reef, and then all of a sudden one of them crawls out and bites your foot off.

DAMN!!!!! :o That sure looks nasty!!!!!!!

I'd be worried if I lived in the ocean, otherwise no.

I'm scared of the ocean due to the fact that it's been the sewer of humanity for the past 10,000 years.

Not really, but I'm concerned if I step on something and it moves.

DAMN!!!!! :o That sure looks nasty!!!!!!!

Most of the sea creatures look like bugs... yuk.

No. When I remember about the deadliest animal on the planet, the Box jellyfish...

You just touch the on of these little white strips and BAM! You're burnt alive!

Yes...i hate the ocean...

No worries it's just the ocean :)

Holy.... damn

I'm Kinda afraid of some stuff.. but, knowing the odds of the scary stuff pretty much makes it not scary.. However I'm afraid of the open ocean.. like I'd never swim in the middle of the Atlantic unless I really had to. :D

I was lucky enough to have a chance to poke one of those with a stick a few years back.

I HATE deep open water unless it is clear and I can see my feet and that, so swimming in a nice clear sea where you can see the seabed is nice. If it's just a lake or the ocean, I'll be scared as anything, feel so vulnerable and the thought of sharks around or some weird creature.

for some reason, i don't like fish :o

I feel the same way about water. I don't like swimming unless I'm in a pool. I remember as a child being really afraid to swim in the lake of the ozarks because you couldn't see anything in the water.

Hell yes. Jellyfish, sharks, stingrays. They creep the living crap out of me.

That's why, on the very rare occasion I go to the beach, I never leave the shore. I just sit in the break.

whats there to be afraid off?

in the Philippines iv been in water with jellyfish. i hated it so i stopped swimming but good thing there stingers weren't out. :shock:

I am of Sharks. >_>

I am terrified of open water, but not because there is any real danger, but because being in that element just completely freaks me out. Where I live there are no sharks or water snakes or mean jelly fish or anything like that, yet I'm still scared to go in. The ocean on the east coast is okay, I used to go swimming there when I was a kid, but I could never do it alone. Lakes are just a big fat NONO, what with their murky water and icky sea beds. I tried a lake-dip last summer but I only managed to panic and bang both of my knees really badly while scampering for safety onto the little pier.

I will go out in the ocean a little ways but if I go to far I'm afraid that either a) I'm going to step on something sharp or some sort of evil fish that'll bite me or b) I'll get pulled out towards the big breakers and drown. So I usually stay within 100 or so feet of the shore.

if the water has low visability I tend to be a little freaked out. I still swim in the ocean and stuff, but my imagination tends to run a little wild.

Yes im afraid of Ocean Creatures. They are big and wanna eat me :cry:

I am, I saw a snake a few years ago only about 3 feet long and that freaked me out so seeing a shark would probably give me a heart attack.
