Anybody have Trypophobia?

1st off, please dont post any pictures related to the subject. I'm cringing just thinking about this and writing it.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I 1st noticed i had this problem when i was around 11 or 12, my friend Adam had a book about mushrooms and one of them had this gross grooved top that made my face cringe and gave me goose bumps. Another example was this frog on i think Planet Earth that grew babies on its back so it had this pot holed back that was just, ucckkk.. I cant even.. Its not debilitating or anything like that, just causes a sickly reaction i cant control. It seems like the problem is sorta just coming into its own as an actual issue people recognize. I never really knew it had a name or that other people experienced the same feelings till the last year or so.
Anyway, was just curious if anyone else has this issue and how it effects them? I hear its worse for some people. Just sorta grosses me out and i avoid images like that if i can. Adding poll for the f of it..

meh, this was made fashionable somehow, everybody claiming they have this particular phobia. Most people get grossed out by some of those pictures, but that does not imply a phobia. A phobia is a true fear (and irrational) for that thing.
Who's making it fashionable? I dont think i've ever heard anybody mention it.

It is everywhere in facebook, for quite some time now (more than a year). From time to time the subject pops up, with the same photos, some photoshopped, some real.

You are referring to a toad sir, not a frog. A Suriname Toad, to be specific.

Ah, well i dont do facebook. NA is the only type of social media i partake in. And it doesnt mean its not a real thing because it got popular on facebook.

lol glad to be of service. I find the little guys fascinating, so that must mean I'm not affected by this phobia

It might be real, but now everybody in facebook (I ignore other social media) says they have it, which is ridiculous.
I also googled. I wish I didn't.
Oh yeah. If you're grossed out by nasty skin lesions you probably shouldnt Google.

yeah, don't like.
Also I was eating. Keyword, was.
I wouldn't describe it as the texture that bothers me though. I just think when it's skin it's fuckin gross looking.
I think its a texture thing for me! And sorry, didnt mean ta gross you out during eating.

The Grossest Shit!! I actually got triggered by it last night when shaving. Hadnt shaved in months and had a bit of a beard going and there was a tiny bit of a rash under my chin and i couldnt even handle it. It wasnt just cuz it was a rash but like a bumpy one, i dunno, hadnt felt that way in a while and is the reason i made the thread.

ah, yeah that wouldn't bother me. Have you googled it? I think it's just the kinda imagery that happened to pop up I didn't like. Like it's to the extreme

Yeah.... Never again... The imagery is the same as that mushroom and toad i mentioned. Google that toad!

Nope! I'm good
Plus, Honeycomb cereal is delicious.
Never heard of it. Googled triggering images and apparently I'm not affected by it whatsoever.
Lucky!

1st off, please dont post any pictures related to the subject. I'm cringing just thinking about this and writing it.

Another example was this frog on i think Planet Earth that grew babies on its back so it had this pot holed back that was just, ucckkk.. I cant even.. Its not debilitating or anything like that, just causes a sickly reaction i cant control. It seems like the problem is sorta just coming into its own as an actual issue people recognize. I never really knew it had a name or that other people experienced the same feelings till the last year or so.
Anyway, was just curious if anyone else has this issue and how it effects them? I hear its worse for some people. Just sorta grosses me out and i avoid images like that if i can. Adding poll for the f of it..
you should take the Quiz to see if you have it, lol

I'm afraid to ask, whats the Quiz?
I like holes, so no.
I like so many holes! Just not weird gross ones in pattern. I actually dont seem to have a problem with honeycomb but put that pattern on the back of a toad with babies crawling out of em and im out!

Hahahah!
If I saw that in real life I would probably lose it but a picture is alright.
Being sickened or grossed out by something is different than a phobia. I'd probably feel pretty sick if I saw a dead body by the side of the road, but it doesn't mean I have a phobia of dead bodies. Phobia is definitely a term that gets tossed around too liberally (much like people saying they have OCD).
This is definitely one of those things that's popular right now. Like that time period where everyone had a clown phobia.

I get what you're saying. I didnt classify it as a phobia, just what its called. Im not scared by it, just grossed out and have a physical reaction to it. I also didnt realize it was a popular thing until posting. Its something i've noticed for 20 years so i'm not trying to be trendy.
