Feeling nauseated after googling Trypopophobia

[Thepowerof3]

Blaargle, I feel all hot and dizzy now why can't I leave well alone!

Ooh that was really interesting. When I googled it I got a big sort of prickly power surge on the right hand side of my brain.

I'm not sure my response can be that strong though, otherwise presumably I wouldn't be a sporner?

Bad mignonette

Wtf is a sporner? Do I want to know!

Someone who clicks on every klaxon thread and watches every video of blackhead removal.

I've been wanting to ask other female trypophobics for years (but it's slightly inappropriate)...does anyone else remember when the surface layer of Always Ultra pads was a plasticky mesh? As though puberty wasn't bad enough?! It was probably around late 90's, early 2000's.

I remember it, but had no problem with it.

I googled. I don't feel well now :(

NO!

But I'm not a trypophobic.

Oh dear god

Ahh it seems there is a cure for getting images out your head

And it's Trypophobia.

Your phobia of repeated patterns can't be that bad if you don't mind having two po po in the same word.

That's no cure bluemonkeyspots you wicked thing

Could be worse you could have Formicophilia.

I have had this "thing" since I was a child and I know my Mum had it as if we drew patterns on our hands she would shudder and run off.

My first memory was seeing a neighbour sitting by the fire and there was a blotchy patterned rash on her legs. I was repulsed and could not stop thinking about it.

Also those pebbles which are set into concrete! Yuck.

Since then I can react to lots of things. Tree bark, The Sanex advert (scream) and sometimes even the patterns in my cat's fur plus the holes where his whiskers come out.

I have looked at some of the images and yes they are vile. That girl with the holes in her arms and knees really upset me. I try not to look anymore, but sometimes life throws you an image you are not expecting!

Scratching as I write this and my back goes into a shudder.

I bloody hat that sanex advert, the curanail one is my worst though

Don't look at photographs of the snout of a Manatee then AllofaFlumble. Lots of prickly spiked holes. And they swim right up to you ...

I googled it because even reading this thread was making my skin crawl - it wasn't as bad as I thought. This thread is worse, I think, the NOT knowing.

Here is Mr Manatee.

Are they endangered? Would you be arrested if you bopped them on a snout, say with a boxing glove on a stick or something?

Mignonette that was awful. Not quite prepared for the patterned skin too.

Dare I say, they are damn cute too, just not such a close up of them. :)

Just googled it and I didn't know this phobia existed.
Those of you that have it, can you look at a shower head, colander, sea sponge etc ?

I'm hiding this thread because everytime I see it the images come flooding back and make me feel sick. Yuck.

I can penguin, it's more the "things" protruding from the holes that freak me out, especially if its skin.
