Fear of fish

Everytime I see a fish, I want to throw up. I think they look disgusting. I'm afraid they're going to like jump out of their tank and flap around and die or something. When I go snorkeling, I start hyperventilating. They just completely creep me out. Am I normal?

    I would give up any information that somebody was trying to get out of me if they threatened to make me be in close proximity of a fish...
    Strangely enough I can be surrounded by them when I am snorkeling in the ocean no problem but let me see a guppy jump out of a fish tank and I totally freak out. I wish people would quit asking me to go fishing with them.

    I feel the same. I think the problem I have is that they are so delicate. I think "If it jumped out the tank and I picked it up, I might damage its fins or something". I'd love to have one as a pet but I wouldn't be able to clean the tank, so I haven't bothered! Good luck anyway.

    it's actually a phobia (ichthyophobia) and other people feels the same way you do so you don't have to worry.
    There's a way to treat it if you want :)

    Yeah that's not normal. I've never heard of a fish phobia before. I've heard of weirder phobias though so I wouldnt worry too much about it

    Not normal. That's irrational. It's also not normal to wonder if this is normal, because anyone would know that it isn't.
