Trypophobia

Who else here has it? I didn't realize until I image googled it recently and cringed. My arachnophobia was nothing compared to that.

Was it just the images of the patterns of holes in peoples arms and things? But honestly, I think everyone cringes at that regardless of whether or not you actually have the phobia.

Now do you cringe at the site of more ordinary things like beehive patterns, ant hills, mesh, and things like that? Because that, I believe, is the real sign of the phobia.

Cringing at holes in peoples arms is just natural frankly. :sick:

I don't know about Trypophobia but I do have "Typophobia". ^^

Yeah it was something about seeing the pattern that sent a chill to my shoulders. I have the same thing with hearing certain types of squeaking noises such as when you rub two soft plastic water bottles together. And I never thought I was an easily squeamish guy, but something about those hit a nerve for me.

I don't see the big deal with it. Sure it may look weird, but the only reasons I feel tense is because I tense up thinking about how horrible it *could* be.

Have you ever seen pictures of teeth in the skull when you were a child,I think that looks fascinating.

I wouldn't call it a phobia but certain patterns do make me feel very uncomfortable and disgusted. Especially beehive sort of things. It's pretty odd.

I wouldn't say so, but those images I came across when googling it are disgusting.

Yeah the images are gross, but I'm not scared of them.

As far as I know Arachnophobia is the only phobia I have.
