What is it called to be afraid of the abyss like outer space or the ocean floor?

Deep in Latin is Profundus, while Water in Latin is Aqua.

Even though Aqua Phobia is usually the fear of just water and Profundus Phobia is usually the fear of Depth, most people just say Aqua Phobia works for both fear of water and fear of DEEP WATER (like i have).

So even though I'm not 100% sure (probably about 87%) , people generally use Aqua Phobia.

Hydra Phobia is a different thing, although it's still about the fear of water it isn't just about being afraid of water or deep water, Hydra Phobia means that you are afraid of DRINKING Water.

What is the fear of uneducated people?

Technically there is no current "phobia" for this. However I can point you in the right direction.

To society we build up walls against certain people, things and even our own economical situations.

How do you get over social anxiety?

Believe it or not many actors suffered from social anxiety, joined an acting group (even in college) and for some reason did extremely well. Taking Public Speaking Courses helps (I did because I use to be so shy, but have no problem speaking in public now.) Joining different groups you may be interested in even if it's sports of some sort to volunteering. Start out by taking small steps and volunteer somewhere or take up a sport that is more pleasurable and doesn't add to your anxiety and then when you have conquered that you can take Public Speaking if you wish. Good luck Marcy
