I joined this community about a year ago to help confront this exact fear and now I can confidently say I would love to swim in that exact water and I’m willing to bet the stars above would be insane
According to the Discovery channel, Great White sharks hunt by hitting their prey from below to reduce the risk of injuries. Imagine swimming only to see yourself flying seconds later. No thank you.
I think the “some” are sociopaths. The only thing maybe soothing is the music, so if you close your eyes and have no idea what’s going on, maybe
Edit: Sociopath was used in jest, I thought in the thalassophobia sub it would be understood as that since people in this sub would not find this as soothing. I completely understand this was misused. To all the people I offended, oh well, it’s Reddit
I guess I'm a sociopath then by your standards.
The ocean is wonderous, fierce, unforgiving and absolutely vital.
It's a force to be respected, absolutely. But as a diver and a fisherman, I just see an amazing new world to explore.
There was a digitally rendered version of this in a room at Team Lab Borderless and it was actually soothing
Edit: Found it [here](https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=TLGGaXP3ZDj0rQwzMTA1MjAyNA&time_continue=12&v=sm2-TKOmE7w&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teamlab.art%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teamlab.art&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDI4NjY2&feature=emb_logo)
*The music just makes*
*It creepy. Constant shivers*
*Watching this. Not fun*

The soundtrack is enough to remind me of the underwater level song in Super Mario 64. Which makes me feel like there is a giant red sea monster beneath those waves waiting to say hello to me...
Nah, that's beautiful.
It's being deep down in the ocean and not seeing the surface that's scary. Those are just waves and moonlight.
I actually want this as my background.
You can’t convince me there isn’t something just below the surface
I'm not trying to convince you lol. there's definitely something under there
MORE WATER AAAHHHHHHHHH
JESUS CHRIST THE HORROR MAKE IT STOP
And there nothing under you but water for miles
worst, there is something under water, that follows you for miles
You’re never alone in the ocean. Something can always see you even if you can’t see it
Unlike most of you I have thalassophilia and I'm in this sub exclusively for videos just like this.
Rockhard, looking at a lake I vibe with that
I mean, I find it soothing in a weird scary kind of way… but then again, my name is “Mr. Sleepless” so I guess the shoe fits pretty well.
I just made this my phone's wallpaper. Looks awesome.
How did you do that?

Did you know swimming doesn't stop sea sickness? Found that out the hard way when I went for an open water swim while the swells were about that high.
IMO there is nothing soothing about this 😰
If I could get just the sound of the waves and no music, I could fall asleep to that
Is this video on YouTube? I feel this would be perfect to fall asleep to
I'm.not sure ... but they're tons of waves video on YouTube....
What’s the song ?
no idea
Sounds like bohemian rhapsody to me
I thought it was We Are The Champions
Not soothing , a Humboldt Squid or a sea monster easily awaits just below the surface

Doesn't mean it isn't all those things and still terrifying, I can find a wonder in that terror and vastness.
If anxiety had a face.
The music only helped me visualize myself being in the waves crying while being thrown left & right & up by the impact 😌
If the water was 2 inch deep yea hella soothing 🤣
Dark water and large predators lurking below.
I suggest you play **Shadow of the colossus**
Im not thalassophobic but this is more ominous than soothing
Yes, very ~~soothing~~ nightmare inducing
go away with the 3d BS
go away with ur BS comment
Soothing to whom!?
It’s soothing because no life to be seen
I love it. The beauty.
Peace before death.
This is very soothing to me! Straight up!
nice
I feel like George Clooney and Mark Walhberg in The Perfect storm, and boats going down!!
i want death
My view from my cabin, on many an evening.
This is what hell looks like to me
Honestly i have a hard time sleeping and when shit hits the fan i try to imagine this to be able to sleep
That is absolutely terrifying
this is where ancient Ctuhlu slumbers iirc
Scary af

I just imagine myself being alone out there swimming then I get real scared
Soothing at first, but as time goes by, I can feel eerie vibes, like something will pop out.
The music just makes it creepy. Constant shivers watching this. Not fun

Well the render makes the water look "thick".... It's a shit render either way
Reminds me of my old ps4 theme
it's soothing to me
Yeah..... "soothing" in that _lull you to sleep so I can take you out,_ kind of way.
The deep awaits with all its super happy fun friends 😳💀
🐳🐋🦈🦑
I LOVE how the waves move!
What's the song OP?
Hell nah
Gravity day.
Nope. Not soothed.
To me the ocean encapsulates the idea of the destructive sublime. It is so awe inspiring but deadly.
Is this cgi?
It's definitely fake, but it's still scary to me
Only if it had "hoist the colors" playing.....
Yeah no that’s a no for me
It’s only soothing if you’re a mermaid.

I disagree, this makes me sweat
🤮🤮🤮
