Every kind of fear has its counterpart. The human brain is an amazing organ, and for everything that is thrilling and delightful in the world.

There are just as many things that our minds can start to fear and link to severe worry. Of course, this includes items that are submerged in water!

Submechanophobia is a relatively simple concept, so don't worry if you've never heard of it. Submechanophobia, which is a fascinating phobia, is defined on the subreddit devoted to it as "the fear of partially or fully submerged man-made objects."

When you see yourself submerged in water, how do you feel? Does the thought excite your inner mermaid or do you see yourself as much more of a land creature?

You might have submechanophobia if the thought of ships and submarines lazily drifting at the bottom of the sea causes you great anxiety. This phobia, also known as the fear of submerged man-made objects, has a whole subreddit devoted to it.

We've compiled some of the most interesting and frightful posts from r/Submechanophobia that just might offer you something new to be afraid of, including images of underwater buildings and pictures of flooded cities. So get your snorkeling gear ready, or if you'd rather stay above the water, your life vest, and take a deep dive into the fear of anything submerged.
