I am also terrified and fascinated by sharks.

Is this because of the movie Jaws? I know you’re a horror movie fan. Is it more than that?

I’m leery of sharks but I also count myself lucky because for years, each summer, my friends and I would go night swimming (most times sans swim suits) in the ocean off of the southern outer banks of the East Coast. For. Years. I can’t count the number of times I would float in the waves staring up at the moon and the stars. It was a ritual. We would talk and catch up with each other. It was wonderful.

Then over the last few years, there have been two or three shark .. I don’t want to say “attacks”, but bites that required a rescue or medical assistance right near where we’d swim. Right there! So, I figure that somehow the sharks were cutting me some slack. All those years and all that happened was i stepped on a fish or sharp shell or something. I was super lucky.

Does anyone here have that fear of the open water? I don’t know what that is called, but it’s a fear of the deep open ocean water or lakes.

Exotic-ish: Great apes. I find them so fascinating. Almost human, but still so distant.

When I was younger I traveled a lot. I went to a place where there were monkeys everywhere. On cars. Lampposts. Roofs. Trees. The roads. Everywhere. I remember them screeching and hearing scary stories about them. So now I’m super scared of monkeys.

Probably totally different from great apes. But that reminded me- just yikes.

If I think about it too much, yes. Several years ago, I was in Puerto Rico & we went out on a boat to see dolphins. We got to snorkel in the middle of the ocean off the boat. Thinking back on it kind of horrifies me, but I’d probably do it again if I had the chance. Though I have been scuba diving once and now the thought of being under all that water makes me feel claustrophobic. I don’t think I’d be able to do that again.

Thalassophobia. It's a fear that causes me anxiety to just think about. It's also one of my favorite subreddits lol.

Snorkeling I can do. Scuba makes me freak out.

I like to scare myself with those videos of the boats in the HUUUGGGEEE waves.

Is this because of the movie Jaws? I know you’re a horror movie fan. Is it more than that?

When I was a kid Jaws 3 was always on HBO. I knew that movie by heart and I wanted to work at Seaworld and have a girlfriend like Bess Armstrong!

This got me interested in sharks, fascinated by them. But something about being torn apart, crushed and drowning, all at the same time, with nothing to grab onto and nowhere to hide really freaks me out.

Side note: I did live in Orlando for awhile, I knew people who worked at Seaworld, but I was very unhappy when I found out it’s about 60 miles inland from the ocean!

That movie lied!!!

Yeah, something about being shredded by a shark seems pretty terrifying indeed. Lol.

Speaking of favorite animals …

Here is a Tumblr that shares Bears every Friday. I found this and thought of someone near and dear to me. ( Ahem @Mei5ter ). Enjoy!

Oh man, I don't have to tell you that, asked on some folks I know in other parts of the country, I though this was going to be a whole other kind of bear

I love a good Sharknadathon.

All that stuff you can't see. Sharks!

I was on a kick for a few years where I try to force myself through things I feared. In this instance it meant resort diving in Grand Cayman.

Three days of solid terror.

It would have been four, but I balked when it came time for the night dive. *shudder*

So I just love all sorts of animals. Wolves, bears, dolphins, Eagles, whales, leopards, squirrels, deer, ants, mountain goats, etc. I love watching nature shows. My family does not! So I enjoy them myself.
Each animal and the way it functions in its ecosystem is so intriguing to me. There’s so much to learn and understand about each animal.

Lots of bears around South Beach for sure.

Do you have animals that you are drawn to? I love wolves. Dogs. Foxes. I dream about them a lot. Like, a lot, a lot.

Bears. And cats.

Bears are just great. They're smart. They're inquisitive. They're randomly grumpy. They can run at 25mph, climb trees, swim, catch fish, and don't need GPS to find their way, Plus, they get Fat Bear Week, and they're actually ALLOWED to shit in the woods.

Cats? If I have to explain why, you won't understand. But it's the perfect combination of needing you, not needing you, loving you, ignoring you, hopping in your lap, and randomly offering you her butt.

 

[Dayhoosier]

Just read back several pages. Never thought about what animals I'm drawn to before but I immediately knew: big cats and specifically leopards. No idea why other than the combination of grace and power.

Interesting stretch in this thread.

But I don't dream about them. My dreams are sooo ...well I remember them so infrequently and I notice I'm more likely to dream about acquaintances or old friends than current people. And almost never animals. Maybe I'm broken

It sort of fits in with your running long distance races.

Yeah. My brain works in weird ways. Shrug
