Question to thalassophobics

If you have thalassophobia, this sub is probably the worst place to be on Reddit, for obvious reasons. Why did you join it? Is it a form of exposure therapy for you? A way of taming your fears through microdosing? Or maybe something else?

Please note: I'm not saying you shouldn't be here, nor that your phobia is "wrong" in some shape or form. We all have phobias, and they should be respected. I'm asking because I'm genuinely interested in your feelings.
