Seeing tick (eggs) grouped together on my dog.

Yuck.

I am surprised that most people do not take this as a legitimate phobia.

I think many people are adversely affected by this and that help should be available for those that need assistance to cope.

I once saw a whale at a sealife water park that had lice all over.
The people with me said it was gross and I agreed.
But for me, it was very difficult for me to simply unsee the image and it negatively impacted me for hours.
Same thing with seeing a pregnant lobster too.

I wish there was a cure or treatment for this.

Me too! I have these weird little blackheads on some parts of my body and I just love getting the black stuff out of them!

Then you'll LOVE this - nevus comedonicus.

WARNING!

not for those with weak hearts and stomachs

Can you describe what this is so I don’t have to look it up?

Since I can’t Google this - is there any reason some brains react this way? Is it something dangerous or poisonous the brain thinks it’s seeing?

I have this and tried looking at “mild” images a few times a day to cure myself.

But it just continues to bother me.
I hate clusters of anything…
Holes, bumps, patterns…. you name it!

My overweight elderly cat recently had hard, stubborn fur clumps on her back due to her inability to properly groom herself due to her weight issues and I couldn’t even pet her for weeks.
Thankfully my Mom brushed out her clumps but it truly affected me mentally seeing her back with all those clustered clumps!!
Tongue twister??! Lol.

Normally I would think this is a “pseudo” phobia but I recently saw a beehive (without the bees strangely) and it made me look away and I couldn’t unsee it even though I tried.
I hated how it looked.
I also hate those weird pumpkins that have those lumps on them, resembling some skin rash.
Stuff like this bother me so much it can ruin a good day.

It’s funny how 10 years later that this is still not an officially recognized legit phobia by medical professionals.

Some people do feel a myriad of strange emotions upon seeing clusters of patterns and some do feel actual fear, akin to how some people do not like being trapped in small spaces.

Same! I want to explore what’s in there!

Eww!!

The hair transplant photo!! 🥴
Anyone, trypophobic or not would hate seeing all those red bumps on someone’s bald head!!

I personally hate driving behind work trucks that have large pipes on their beds.
I purposely switch lanes because seeing that only makes me a very anxious driver!!!!

I think it's funny. I also think it's funny that you say "drink some beach". Dont' know why. I can't post a GIF so it's not me.

Thanks people. THis is whAT I learned today. This.

Sadly, a belief in Scientology is not a recognized disorder. Enjoy Xenu, PP!

Except that Trypophobia is a joke. It's nothing more than the latest Internet-inspired meme hypochondriacs have glommed onto now that "celiac disease" is starting to run its course.

You believe that. All I know is that I have the same experience as others. . .a sense of dread, unable to think clearly, itchy skin. And I assure you I am completely sane, rational, no other fears or problems. So it isn't a joke for me.

I believe that because it is fact. Trypophobia is not a recognized condition. Trypophobia is an Internet meme that has caught the fancy of hypochondriacs such as yourself. You may as well claim to have spotted Slenderman in the woods near your house.

Homosexuality was seen as a disorder, and that was ruled as FACT. Now, we know differently. Works the other way around. Don't judge things you don't have experience with.

Sure, whatever you say.


Until the next trendy self-diagnosed ailment comes along, anyway.
