Anybody have Trypophobia?

Reading material: http://www.jordantrudgett.com/all-about-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  

     
  • Never heard of it. Googled triggering images and apparently I'm not affected by it whatsoever.
  • I also googled. I wish I didn't.

    It might be real, but now everybody in facebook (I ignore other social media) says they have it, which is ridiculous.

  • I wouldn't describe it as the texture that bothers me though. I just think when it's skin it's fuckin gross looking.

    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.

    Plus, Honeycomb cereal is delicious.

    Hahahah! 



    If I saw that in real life I would probably lose it but a picture is alright.



     
  • This is definitely one of those things that's popular right now. Like that time period where everyone had a clown phobia.



    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).

    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.
