Last year I tackled mental health with the hopes of shining a different light on the subject.
This year I decided to take on our worst fears and create 31 phobias.

Trypophobia - The Fear Or Disgust Of Closely-Packed Holes
Kholi Kricho 8 years ago
This picture just make uncomfortable and makes my skin feel curl up the longer i view it.
Isabel Tamayo 8 years ago
Definitely, have this too :/ Can a person have that much phobia? I think I have so many...
CelSlade 8 years ago
The difference between a common fear and a phobia is that a phobia interferes with your ability to live a normal life. For instance - I definitely am disgusted by closely packed holes and this sketch made me nauseous, but I am able to look at it (quickly) and just go 'blech!' So - a common fear. If I had been phobic, this image would have triggered a panic attack, or caused me to lose control of my bodily functions or something similar. I squeal like a girl when I see a spider, but can catch them in a glass no problem (common fear) my mom wets herself and faints if she sees one (phobia). You are normal, don't worry :)

I feel this way but really mostly when it involves skin not necessarily like sponges or anything...is there a difference
Polona Drobnič 8 years ago
Yes I think it's an inborn disgust of stuff that looks like skin disease or similar stuff, sponges don't bother me either.

Is it different when you have this fear except with bumps rather than holes?
cybersandwitch 8 years ago
For me it's only when the holes are on someone's skin. It looks like some sort of freakish parasite nest.

I have it too. But, a noticeable thing here is that one will not know that he/she has this phobia unless they see an image/object that triggers it. It's not the deadliest but it's scary enough and it's worse when it's on the human skin.

Said fear is a subject of one of YouTube's "Gray Area" videos.

yk this may sound kinda off topic but small holes and irregular patterns dont scare me, they just make me rlly uncomfortable. like for some reason i always wanna grind my teeth when i see stuff like that?? ik it sounds weird but ive been trying to figure out why but i cant find anything
Hattie Dame 4 years ago
I wasn't prepared for this one... I have this severely, so much so that certain things make me physically sick. And then I think of holes on the skin with bugs or seeds and I swear I just sent myself into a panic. This one is awful to have.
Kátia Schecheleski 6 years ago
I surely am trypophobic! I couldn't not even seen this image for more than few seconds!
Julia NotMyLastname 8 years ago
I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS!! EVEN SHAPES PACKED TOGETHER DISGUST ME!!
Claire Kidd 8 years ago
Seeing some of the images that are associated with this fear make my skin feel as though it's crawling. I really, really don't like it O.o
Polona Drobnič 8 years ago
Stupid? :D It's too ordered, not really related to the illustration.

it’s really depressing that that’s something people have to deal with now. Personally i can go without my phone, but some of my friends will go into a full blown panic attack if they misplace their’s.

Fear is mostly created by a lack of understanding about a certain thing or situation. Once we can focus on how simple things are the fear will subside and not cause any problems anymore. 😇💜
Emma Englehart 8 years ago
Uh, I just realized I'm terrified of all these things. Well. Great.
Curtis Morgan 8 years ago
Can anything be a phobia? Fear of going to work, fear of walking, fear of losing weight, fear of winter, summer etc? Fear of being sick, fear of being healthy? There's more to it, it seems.
