    Trypophobia is an intense fear of the following things, which results in an all-over itchy feeling and general uneasyness. Lotus seed pods, Crumpets, Pumice, Cavities in teeth, the Ampullae of Lorenzini in Sharks, Holes in concrete, Bug tunnels in wood, Enlarged pores of the skin, Aero Bars, Holes in walls caused by bullets, Bone marrow, Wasps' nest, Honeycomb, Bubbles in Dough, Ant holes, Veins in meat, Clusters of holes.

    Image

    Seriously.. This freaks the shít out of me.. I just want to pick at the holes or something... /cry

    How does it make you feel?

    Edit: Yes it's photoshopped.. But still!

    A fear of holes is not useful if you're male.

    Hey,
    none of that stuff freaks me out but for some reason whenever Im walking on a footpath I try not to stand on the cracks.
    I dont really know why. Does anyone else do this or am I just a bit crazy.

    The snopey version of the breast with the lotus seeds superimposed which is supposed to be maggots hatchign did kind of make me ill the first time I saw it. Then I laughed and now it's all OK.

    Haha, i thought i was the only person in the world who hated this kind of stuff! I didn't know it was an actual phobia!

    I have the exact same kind of feeling about that picture. Makes me shiver and i want to scratch the stuff out. Could only look at it for a second.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Yep I've got that. I clicked on the link and immediately had to turn it off. Just the flash of it on the screen 60 seconds ago is making me feel disgusted. Ugh.

    Ahhhh, now that I've clicked on that link I keep thinking of it (because I'm trying not to) and it's freaking me out :( *shudders*

    I definitely have it coz that's not the only photo that makes me feel weird, it's beehives too. It's not so much a fear as it is disgusting to look at. :(

    Not as bad as Anatidaephobia :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    Yeah, I guess I have that......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    I don't know why it's irritating me so much though?? :confused:

    Is it one of those psychological things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    It's not real, it's from the plant: Lotus seed pod. When people realised it was a phobia they started photoshopping it onto humans... That shít gives me the shivers..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭Rockn


    A trypophobes worst nightmare. I dunno wtf "the Ampullae of Lorenzini in Sharks" are so I just put in a great white. They're pretty scary anyway.

    How do people suffering from this cope with showers, or drains for that matter. They must be very smelly people.

    Movie, pffft, it was made up by Gary Larson, the creator of "The Far Side" cartoons, along with luposlipaphobia - the fear of being chased by timber wolves around the kitchen table wearing socks on a newly waxed floor

    Most of the examples don't bother me at all. It is the ones which look like pods, or eggs embedded in flesh that gets me........want to just scratch if off

    Same, everything else is natural. On humans it's just some horrifying disease. Disliking that is hardly trypophobia


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 19,242 Mod ✭✭✭✭L.Jenkins


    I have this horrible disease and I wonder would it freak ye out.
