Well, I don't think there's a word specifically for holding your breath underwater but lacking confidence in water is called aquaphobia.

I did some research, and seems like the phobia of being alone is called
"Monophobia"
Although I'm not very convinced of this sweatdrop
Looks like it is not very well accepted in the Medical community, or that it is taken as part of a depression or neurosis...

T3hEbilBani Well, I don't think there's a word specifically for holding your breath underwater but lacking confidence in water is called aquaphobia. No that is not it. That would "fear of water."

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the word "fear" could be taken as an umbrella term implying a "lack of confidence in" something.
If that's correct, than T3hEbilBani's reply would be correct.

O.K. Thanks, maybe its hidden on the list somewhere obscure.
Does anyone know the word for "A person who is willingly mute"? I know it exists, because I read about it in a book I borrowed, but I can't remember the word.
