I think I have the opposite of Trypophobia *Trigger Warning*

[Zoflorabore]

This is really concerning me to be honest because my dc and dp are horrified and keep telling me that it’s disgusting and that I’m weird.

I first read about it on here so looked up the condition. Rather than being disgusted, I found myself feeling all warm and fuzzy and looked for more.

As time has gone on I have found some that would make your average person queasy ( a botched hair transplant resulting in red holes on someone’s scalp ) and that’s the one I keep looking at )

I’ve tried to look into this online but the issue seems to be that people have the phobia of holes and not the opposite which I have, whatever it is. I’m worried why I seem to like them so much.

Is there anyone else? Not expecting any/many people to say yes but I needed to get it out.

I have looked into this before... I feel the same!!
I feel almost exited in stressful situations. It's a coping mechanism as far as I know. Any other info anyone has found would be great 😂

Sometimes i feel compelled to keep looking at things that give me the ick, not sure that is the same though.

Oh wow I wasnt expecting that. I’m sort of relieved but expect us to be very much the minority!

I do have diagnosed OCD and anxiety and am medicated but I feel almost compelled to look. I have some saved in my photos. It’s very much a stress reliever.

I find most of the images, when you Google Trypophobia, incredibly beautiful. Love the symmetry, love the patterns, love the uniformity.

I have triptophobia but it makes sense to me that the opposite would be true. It doesn’t sound that weird.

I suffer from trypophobia and all i can tell you is that looking at holey things particularly pics of pieces of coral or a bee wax gives me a feeling of complete horror. My stomach lurches and my throat closes up, its horrid. I also have a strong aversion to eyes and eyeballs but i wouldnt call it a phobia as such.

You're just a sporner.

just been googling this, love it!

I'm the same, I love it! Haven't found anyone else who feels the same way. I google images and would love to see it in real life (mainly the ones on people) but I I know a lot are CGI which makes me sad!

I agree crunchymum love the symmetry

Makes my scalp crawl just thinking about it.

I do however have a morbid fasination with the x-ray of the child's skull where you can see their adult teeth in the gaps "shudder"

For those who like the images, google “trypophobia pasta”

Google ‘trypophilia’

It appears to be a thing and even has its own Facebook page! 🙈

This is probably different but I love things like pimple popper, and all those medical things, I just like the cleaning and making things better?

I find all of this fascinating!

Ooh thanks TooMuchEyeliner

I found myself buying pikelets recently as was just so fascinated by them. I did eat them though.

Oh and to the pp that said I’m a sporner, I had a look at sporner corner on here and I’m very much not. Spot popping etc 🤮

I bought a shower mat with dimples on it . I knelt down on it to pick something up in the shower and when I stood up I had deep holes in my knees. I almost threw up!

I like to see the holes being scraped/destroyed so I'm probably in the middle somewhere!

Can I ask the people with trypophobia something: does it mean that you can never eat crumpets?

I was going to suggest tryophilia too! Ugh 🤢 I hate holes

I don’t like crumpets, no! And things like coral or sponges make me feel very weird. Plug holes in sinks. Doesn’t stop me eating crumpets though. I just fill the holes with butter or honey. If I’m in control it’s fine.

But I do like seeing things being removed from holes like Dr pimple popper!

I kind of like them too, they're fascinating!

I loved the pasta trypophobia pics! I get the urge to run my tongue over them. Weird.
The trypophilia pics are gross though.

Ive never really thought about it but no, crumpets dont bother me and neither do the holes in Aeros or Crunchies so it must be a psychological thing rather than a real physical manifestation. @tillytoodles1, you made me howl with laughter, i know exactly what you mean!!!

Googled this and it made me feel really sick!! How strange. There's an artist near me you'd love :
