Why do I have an irrational fear of boating?

To be honest, I have no reason to fear boating whatsoever, but I do and the issue here is I have no clue what fear is when it comes to boating.I grew up on a boat as a young child and I remember I never liked boating that much as a teenager, but I still went out boating for my dad. I do remember a while back, I didn’t even want to go on a dingy with him not only due to it being so low, but the fact it was shortly after a car accident I had gotten into about a year prior to that. I remember him yelling at me saying something like this: “It’s not a car, just get in it!” So, I did and I was fine when he was going super slow through the canal and he promised me, he’d go slow to wherever he was taking me to where he broke his promise and literally hauled it on me (that’s what it felt like to me). I do remember even when I was a child that whenever my dad had a boat that had an underneath inside area, for some reason I always felt safer down there so I’d usually stay down there for quite a while. I remember as soon as my dad sped up in the dingy, I not only LOST IT on him, I was screaming my head off at him.

Stay away from boats and the water.  Anybody could have told you that but yourself.I am afraid of taking the escalator myself.  What do I do?  I take the stairs or the elevator.... Show More
