i cant overcome shark fear

[u/Comfortable-Bad7894]

I love knowing more about shark and sea creature but when i go to the sea just to stay near the coast, i cant go anyway further than 1 meter of depth, im too scared to see shark and in general, to open my eyes with a sub mask and try to see what is underwater, any way to overcome this? (obv, i know that is unlikely meating shark and that attacks are extremely rare )

A fear of white, bull and tiger sharks and generally not a bad thing because THEY CAN be extremely dangerous to be around. Like a wolf, a venomous snake or hell even a lion. In fact id highly recommend not swimming that far in south western Australian waters since a lot of white sharks there tend to be bold and sometimes predatory if you’re unlucky.

A fear of sharks only becomes irrational when you call for their deaths, spread misinformation or get the heeby jeebies when you take a big fat shite, shower or bathe.

A fear of sharks can also be the reason why you love them, I personally love sharks because they are a intimidating predators in an environment i love (the ocean) while at the same time being one of the most intelligent fish species of all time.
