Isn't the mind a strange thing? I was thinking it would be a handy thing to swing out of a hot bath to stick joss sticks in, and waft relaxing smelly smoke around. Or play cribbage on, whatever that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys, I genuinely had no idea it could make people feel so bad. It must be horrible being made to feel nauseous just by looking at a picture. Please accept this small gift as an apology.

A google image search of trypophobia yields some fucking harrowing stuff. Mostly photoshopped to trigger folk I think. It works well.

The sport scene thing doesnt bother me at all really, but see stuff on bodies... it's also not neccesarily confined to holes. Patterns can do it too. I can mind seeing a picture of a manitee that has been hit by a propeller resulting in a row of uniform slashes down its side. Scared the bejesus out of me. I only recently discovered that my other half has this after we stumbled across a series of tree stumps at The Hermitage in which coins have been stuck into them (picture in spoiler). She found them repulsive to the point she felt sick. Bizarre behaviour. Truly terrifying stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I remember from as far back as when I was a kid, sitting on the grass propping yourself up with your hands, but when you get up the palms of your hands have the pattern of the flattened grass embedded on them. I think if someone offered me a still saw to cut them off, i'd have taken it rather than wait the 15 minutes or so for them to return to normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this, it is hypothesized that trypophobia has an evolutionary basis meant to alert humans of dangerous organisms. Oh it's a snaaaake!

Bairnardo Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That sums it up for me. I associate it with disease. To me it looks parasitic, almost alive. I also get the heebies when someone mentions a fungal infection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should this be filed under squeamishness then, or can you deal with the good old gore.com but find the holey patterns to be the exception? Just reminded myself of the poster that sent me a video showing a post-car crash woman attempting to push her face back on (and dangling eyeball back in). That might be the one and only thing online that's ever given me the heebie jeebies. That and seeing that Darren Dods was staying on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like that other shit you speak of, but there is something about the trypophobia stuff that gives me the fear. I am by no means an extreme case I dont think, but when it reard its head in the news last year it was the first time I ever realised it was fairly common and it had a name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something in your lizard brain that you've no control over. I know it's a ridiculous thing to allow it to affect me the way it does, but that picture of the foot genuinely makes me want to spew/jump out a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
