There are certain irrational fears that people have that start from a young. The science behind it is fascinating because it all stems from a synapse in the brain that’s not yet fully formed. That’s why many fears are childish. For me, it was always sharks.
My oldest brother LOVES sharks. They’re his favorite animal. For me, it is the opposite. I refuse to go into the ocean that far out because of my fear and I have learned that if I respect that the ocean is their home, they’ll respect that land is mine. It is a deep fear and all consuming. I have literally given up press events that are shark related because of it.
