Yeah those pics were too creepy. More so gross. Now I am all nervous at work and shit (I should never have googled those pics). Another one for me are elevators malfunctioning. I am terrified of heights, so an elevator messing up would be a wrap for me.
If I were this dude I would be like "are you fuckin kidding me?"
Human sized spiders
Heights
Thought of becoming homeless
Angry black women
It would be better if the Trypophobia google search wasn’t filled with photoshopped pictures of perforated people.
Geez.
My mother scares me too…
lol. i told you google at your own risk. thats why i didnt want to look up the name.
like seriously a lot of people are affected by it and dont know it.
my old lady freaks about pot holes, gravel with grass sticking thru, patchy grass, sponges, all types of weird shit. i used to just laugh at her till the night she actually googled it and freaked out
Not really a phobia, but I hate standing water. Like I used to tippy toe whenever I went to a public pool, and there was a little puddle of water near the side of the pool. That shit is filthy.
All you pussies afraid of Trypophobia are complete and total pussies. I’m gonna eat Honeycomb Crunch in front of you one day, and watch you break down like a sissy.
I’m suffering from AuthorDiesBeforeFinishingHisWorkophobia. If I invest years following a series I want to know how it ends.cough berserk cough.
Cracks and tears.
Been scared of them since forever.
Also that picture @Kromo posted, Jesus.
EDIT: Google tells me my fear of cracks and whatnot fall under Trypophobia, which is weird cause I can stand to look at patterned holes.
I have a healthy fear of opossums and racoons. Hell all of those nocturnal uglies are pretty effed up.
That’s one way to view it but I look at it differently. I work to earn the $$$ to get the stuff/do things I enjoy. If I don’t work, then I can’t pay rent/go on vacation/buy vidjahgames/buy guitar stuff etc etc.
It’s fascinating how much of our phobias stems from childhood memories. I had similar stories like Ricardos regarding snakes but it never bothered me. Worst one was waking up with a boa snake in the middle of the night(snakes LOVE warm places). I also remember being scared of heights before but then I started climbing trees and whatnot and it never bothered me afterwards. Same with fear of drowning- I learned how to swim to counter that shit.
Clowns though- I run like a bitch when I see one. I don’t fuck around with that. No sir. I don’t understand why there are clown schools out there. Go to a comedy club if you want to laugh.
You may have the money to do what you want, by if you are doing something that is insignificant to you or the world, is it really worth it?
And yeah, my fear of the dark/mannequins comes from childhood. I just can’t shake it, I know nothing is gonna happen, but I always have this creeping fear that something will in the dark or in a department store.
I think partly because as a kid, our imagination is much more ‘expansive’ and we haven’t learn much in terms of how things work in the world. As we grow older, you tend the learn the science of things and suddenly there is a perfectly logical explanation on things/events you once deemed mysterious.
Perfect example for me: I used to think there were thieves trying to get into our house because every other night there would be loud banging noise in our rooftop. This only happens on summer months too. Later on I learned apparently the trees my old man planted around the house blooms fruit that the local bats love to eat. So yea, it wasn’t ninja thieves at all. Growing in a local village was exciting to say the least :tup: .
Ya right, u just want to fuck all the little nasty holes. U sick man.
New phobia, Soviet! Ps play me in sf4!
Snakes
Bats
Merinthophobia:
Fear of being bound or tied up
I have a recurring nightmare where the mafia dumps me in a pipe upside down with cement shoes and the pipe is only as wide as my shoulders. The pipe is like 2 stories deep, starts at ground level and goes down. When they dump me, half way down the pipe it gets smaller and I get stuck. Depending on the nightmare, the pipe is rigid, spikey or has a sand paper like texture. I never die immediately. Sometimes they start filling the pipe up with water, sometimes the drop insects or scorpions down there. Sometimes the pee and shit down the pipe. I get that sleep paralysis thing when I have this dream so I end up having a hard time snapping out of the dream.
When my hands can’t reach a part of my body, I instantly feel bound. When I feel bound, whatever part I can’t touch get really, really itchy. It drives me mad. I was arrested twice. The first time, the officers knocked me unconscious because of kept fidgeting with the cuffs to reach parts of my itchy body. The second time, I told the officer about my phobia. He told me to hold still for a little bit and he would help me out at the station. I started losing it in the back of the cop car. He was oddly cool about it and told me to calm down so he could open the door and unlock the cuffs. I was super sweaty and extremely shaky. He drug tested me (came back negative) and treated me pretty well at the station that time. Moving to a white area was the best thing I ever did…
When I was younger, wild bitches used to try and bind me during one night stands and shit. I had to walk home a couple of nights because bitches don’t understand that sex doesn’t negate phobias… My one friend was a dominatrix. I used to stay at her crib all the time and we would double team bitches together. She was my best and closest bro. One night she thought she could bind me in my drunken sleep. I almost broke her bed and nearly punched her throat in. We’re still great friends, in fact, I’m going to be her kid’s godfather, but she always tries to make sure I feel as unrestrained as possible whenever we’re together.
Little things like hugs where a big guy pics you up or sometimes when the seat belt won’t give anymore sets me off. I’ve been working on my phobia by doing things like playing under the couch or bed with my kids, but I can only take so much before I start feeling that itchy crazy feeling.
That’s my phobia…
needles. fucking hate needles… i can get shots when i need to but i get all pale and my heart goes crazy.
Bees/Hornets/Wasps and any other flying insect that stings. I’m afraid I might be allergic to their venom so that increases my fear.
Heights. Definitely. I was always afraid of heights as a kid, but it escalated to a great amount recently. I can’t even ride escalators properly or stand near a ledge in the mall without getting weak in the legs. Toured the empire state building yesterday and I started hyperventilating at floor 86. Had to calm down real quick or a full anxiety attack would’ve happened. Fml…
Drowning. Not as big as it used to be when I learned to swim but I still think of being stranded in the middle of the ocean. I feel I’d get tired of swimming quick.
Huge fear of strokes, aneurysms and heart attacks. I could be perfectly healthy and my body in tip-top shape but I could still be at risk for these three. Cancer is included but there’s many treatments to help control and stop the spread. Theres hardly anything you can do to control those three above.
So yeah that’s about it…
This is an actual thing? Buildings don’t list the 13th floor as floor 13?
Yep. Superstition.
I think Japan skips floor 4 if they can as well.
I’m honestly truly scared of:
