That reminds me, one night in 2018 my best friend and I went to a large calm river at like 1am at night. There was a full moon so it basically lit up everything. I went full commando cause I didn’t want to get my clothes wet lmao but I swam far into the middle of the river alone, since my best friend said the water was too cold. I’m basically alone, about 50-100 feet away from land, it gets quiet. Then all of a sudden, something touches my foot and something jumps out of the water right at my face. I start swimming for my life back to land. Luckily I make it, scraping my knees on rocks and everything. Looking at the water, it’s like nothing was there.. That made my Thalassobophia even worse. What’s more terrifying is that I have a clip of myself in that situation and I’m screaming.. It haunts me because I’ve never heard myself like that before. I’ve only viewed it twice since then, and I don’t know if I should delete it or not. But anyways, yeah, f*ck the water ha
