Do you have any phobias? How did this phobia start? What happens?
Trypophobia. I'm going to try to conquer my fear by showing you exactly what it is that scares the hell out of me.
Here goes:
Oh god, I think I'm gonna hurl, I can't take it anymore. Trypophobia is the fear of clustered holes. I'm seriously gagging and twitching when I look at those disgusting pictures. I honestly find them hard to look at, I wanna stab my eyes out with a SPOON. The first time I encountered the picture that made me trypophobic; this cold, gross shiver ran down my body and I wanted to scratch myself. Even that last picture makes me itch terribly. Ugh!
How this phobia started?
4chan.
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

...how did you get it from 4chan?
well that last one is sick looking. Mines cockroaches
@Queen_of_You188 - You don't wanna know.
@PervyPenguin - do you mean "you don't wanna know" as in "I don't wanna tell you" or "you don't wanna know" as in "you don't wanna know"?
Those holes make me uncomfortable too for some reason.
I also hate the way the clustered seeds look inside a green pepper.
I love green peppers but when I slice them open, I throw away the core quickly to not bother myself.
I usually don't mind a little bit of something disturbing, but my oodness, that last picture is too much for me.
@samanthabecicka - Understandable. I had nothing against them until I went to central America for 6 weeks. They'll fight your dog and WIN. Yikes.
@Queen_of_You188 - You REALLY don't wanna know.
@FoliageDecay - I can't even eat corn because of it. When I eat the cob and there are those little holes where the kernels used to be all line up, I gag and don't want it anymore. Maybe you have typophobia too?
@mynameisblueskye - I had to take a few seconds to calm down when I posted that one. Mother of god...
@PervyPenguin - aww, but I DO wanna know now! D:
The last one is so disturbing. O_O
@PervyPenguin - omg never going there i am gonna have nightmares now
@Queen_of_You188 - There was this picture that was always posted in one of the board I frequently use. People kept linking back to the post that posted that picture and said shit like, "OH GOD" and "WTF IS THAT!?"
So, since I'm the curious sort, I clicked on the picture. It was an animated .gif of a breast with those clustered holes in the place where the nipple should be. Since it was animated, the little objects stuck inside of holes were WRIGGLING and squirming and I froze. I was itchy for days and that image scarred me for life.
That's how I found out I had trypophobia. Well, I think that picture actually may have GIVEN me the fear.
@PervyPenguin - oh, dear LORD. Just by ENVISIONING that I have trypophobia. That's disgusting. I'm sorry.
The last one creeps me out.
Have you ever seen this photo of a guy that has parasites under his man boobs? It looks exactly like that. He has all these holes and little maggot worms live inside them. So gross.
@MangoWOW - There was this one with a dog. YIKES. It's ear was lifted and there were all of these engorged ticks clustered under his ear! DISGUSTING.
what IS that last one?
O_O...
I was fine until that last one.
NOT COOL. D:
It's weird, I'd never heard of this phobia until I saw it on 4chan every other day.
@PervyPenguin - I don't have a phobia but's definitely something that freaks me out. But thats probably because I have a HUGE issue with parasites. Ever since I saw a video on parasites in middle school I've been overly cautious when it comes to hygiene and keeping away from dirty things.
OMG, those are fucking creepy.
I have a very intense fear of broken glass.
On a person, that's fucking disgusting nasty shit holy fuck.
OH my god.... i never knew that's what it was called. i saw something SO FUCKING DISTURBING of this a few years back. and that's how it all started. i really understand....i feel like....dying
@MangoWOW - Parasites too! UGH. I have a huge fear of any parasite known to man. Tapeworms, mosquitoes, ticks, bot flies, you name it.
@PervyPenguin - My biggest random fear is a fear of inflatable things exploding.
I break a serious sweat whenever I put air in my tires. I hate it.
