Okay, so hydrophobia is the fear of water. But what 'criteria' do you actually have to meet to be hydrophobic? For example...
I have no problem with going swimming as long as I can see the bottom. I don't really mind crossing bridges. Looking at the ocean doesn't scare me. I just can't get into water if it isn't clear enough to see the bottom. I don't mind if it's deep, as long as it's clear. I have to take showers instead of baths because I can't stand it if the water gets clouded up with soap, shaving gel, or whatever. I can get into the bath and be fine until the water isn't clear anymore. Odd, eh?
So would I be considered hydrophobic? Are there sub categories that I don't know about? And, is anyone else afraid of water only if they can't see to the bottom?
This may seem like a stupid question, but I was just wondering...
