So ever since I was a kid I've been terrified of being submerged in water. A couple times I've gone up to my friend's dad's lake house, and the most I've done there is like put my foot in the water before I got scared.

But today I was at a coworker's grad party, and they had a pool in the yard, and he convinced me to get in. His words were "get in or I'll throw you in", and that got me right in there. It scared the FUCK out of me, but I did it. After that everyone was splashing water all over me, trying to get my hair wet.

Overall, great time, but I'm still scared of being like fully submerged.

    Holy shit, I just hope that nobody ever tries this with me. They wouldn't understand right away, but I'd defend with maximum brutality and without further warning.

    Because getting water in my ear would run high risk of an ear inflammation and lengthy therapy with heavy antibiotics. I'd not even blink about breaking someone's nose to prevent that.

    @Fast-Nop Normally I'd fight anyone who would threaten to do that, but me and that coworker are close so we're all good
