**Trypophobia Pic Warning** Facebook

[Neilsfavouritechilli]

Just browsing on my Facebook page before bed and this pic popped up on rate my plate... it's so disgusting and my feet itch but I can't stop looking at it. Bleurgh!!! Why do I find the holes so disgusting? It's just pasta or crumpets or flower heads. What is it about them that's so vicerally gross?

Exactly the same, can't put it into words but there is something innate that gives me the creeps looking at it. Eurgh

They think it’s an evolution thing! What’s weird is how it gets worse the more you look at them

It makes me breathe funny too. Also itchy feet.

Ughhhhhhhhhh. Why did I look whyyyyyyy

The holes don't bother me but it doesn't look like something I would want to eat. Yuck.

That probably tastes lovely but it looks vile.
Like a gross Swiss roll.

Ugh.

I think it's so gross because lots of little holes looks like a skin infection. Like impetigo or something that we shouldn't touch.

It sends shivers all down my back, like I can imagine the holes growing all over my body.

I have never suffered from trypophobia, but that looks very unappealing. Also the tubes make me think of blood vessels and veins etc. Yuk.

Saw the same post earlier this evening too. It just looks rank and inedible. Makes me feel quite sick!

Ewww rank. It's looks like lots of verrucas 😩

Ye verruca or a mass of vile black heads!

Don't know why I opened this thread good god!

I opened this thread because I didn't know what trypophobia was, wanted to find out, and also wanted to see if I had it! I don't think I do, but bleurgh at that food!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-48058863 The BBC have an article about trypophobia (warning contains gross pictures of lotus flowers, crumpets and breast muscles.

Reminds me of maggots and decay

Have you seen that photo of milk ducts that's going around. It makes me want to rip my insides out.

I don't suffer with it at all, and I'll eat anything, but that food looks totally unappetising. Like really really gross!

The milk duct photo is on that bbc article, I found it quite fascinating as I get blocked ducts often and often wish I could see what was going inside to fix the problem! I obviously don’t have it and not sure if it’s something you can really explain, but why is that pic troublesome, isn’t the trypophobia about holes? Is that one not just squeamishness about seeing body parts like that?

You're right in that trypophobia is usually a hole thing but those milk ducts are so orderly and symmetric it makes me feel the same way.

HORRIBLE

Oh no. I was waiting with baited breath when I clicked the link for this thread but I did it anyway. Now I'm itchy and shuddery. It's like the visual version of nails on a blackboard or skin rubbing paper/cardboard.

isn’t the trypophobia about holes?

For me it's holes and also clusters of individual things together, especially circular-ish things... In fact, even the word "cluster" makes every pore on my body stand on end. I feel like I have things crawling on my body.

I think it's a reaction to things that are reminiscent of parasite infection, as there are certain ones that nobody on this thread would ever be able to watch the removal of. Especially when you take into account the descriptions of the feelings PPs have at the thought.

It looks like fucked up bone marrow

My idea of hell - makes my brain itch but I can't not look 😫 it's the naturally occurring aspect that disturbs me. It seems wrong somehow that nature creates such perfectly round patterns . off to bleach brain

It was never on my radar, then when I heard of it I wondered why it bothered people. But somehow by googling images I had actually made my self more and more bothered by it. The other day I went cold at the pattern the bubbles made in the washing up bowl
