skull_bearerThis is one of those: Wow, there are other people out there who have this? moments. A friend linked me to the wikipedia page, and my reaction was a resounding 'fuck you' because there's a photo. That's like heading an article on archnaphobia with a big close up of a spider. Seriously, fuck those guys.
(if anyone can edit that out of wikipedia that would be great because seriously, I don't want to go near that page)
Anyway, apparently this is pretty common so some of you reading this might, like me, be suffering from this. Trypophobia is a violent fear and revulsion of holes. Dried lotus pods are the main offender, but there's also this kind of toad that carries eggs on it's back, and let us never forget (I never will) The Worst Photo on Earth.
No, I am not providing a link, look it up for yourself. I've seen it once and it makes me want to put my eyes out. I can look in a Majdanek gas chamber but one second of shitty photoshop and I want to die.
Basically, look at the photo on the wiki page, if you're a bit unnerved, that's fine. If you're OMG MAKE IT STOP TAKE IT AWAY! join the club and take a badge, you're Trypophobic.
I've had this reaction to weathered rocks, crumpets, and this particularly level of Half-Life 2 where there's these honeycomb things (the main reason I have never played that game, seriously). Hell, even thinking about it has me sipping a glass of Bach's rescue remedy.
Anyone linking photos without appropriate warnings will be banned. I'm not shitting around on this.
