Fear of man-made objects that have water on them is known as submechanophobia. Many people have this fear, and it’s easy to see why. There are some scary pictures out there that could make even the bravest person want to run away. From abandoned buildings to machines underwater, these pictures can give you a feeling of dread and unease that is hard to get rid of.
For people with this condition, the “submechanophobia” forum may be too much to handle. Dr. Padraic Gibson, a consultant clinical psychotherapist and the clinical director of The OCD Clinic, as well as the head of training and organization consultation at coaching clinic, says that it’s important to remember that everyone has their own fears and phobias.
“Phobias can emerge for many different reasons, and they are often the result of a complicated mix of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.” It’s okay to avoid things that make us feel bad. So don’t feel bad about staying away from sinking ships, flooded mines, and other scary places if you get scared by mechanical objects in water or abandoned industrial sites.
