My Funny Picture

Does anyone else have a phobia / fear of fish?!?

I have a really weird phobia... of fish! Whenever I see fish in tanks, especially large ones (even worse when the water is murky or greenish), I have panic attacks, I get a weird feeling in my stomach...it's the weirdest thing. I even freak when I see pictures. I've had this phobia for as long as I can remember :\ Does anyone else have this fish phobia?! Having a fear of sharks is different than the fear of fish because sharks can actually HARM you...I'm even afraid of looking at goldfish.

1. sharks are fish...so yea everybody does
2. Nah, I'm not afraid of fish. If I had a choice, I would not associate with them, though.
3. OH. MY. GOD. Yes! I do! I'm not afraid, I'm repulsed. They are hideous creatures! I hated looking at any and all fish. Stayed away from lake water. Around 18, I started to learn how to waterski. But first, I drank a shot of tequila, put out a "fish stay away" force field, and decided to just try getting into the lake water. Fish generally stay away from you, and I was purdy darn proud. I stay away from aquariums, and honestly, it's no big deal. I find fish disgusting to view, okay to eat occassionally and overall, easy to simply not have to deal with. They're not out and about much like spiders, bugs and bees. Peace ;)
