I don't think I have it to the degree that it's a "phobia", but I find a lot of trypophobia images really creepy/gross/frightening. Basically the same reaction

I don't think I have it to the degree that it's a "phobia", but I find a lot of trypophobia images really creepy/gross/frightening. Basically the same reaction I have to arthopods.
I also have had a history, prior to being exposed to the concept of trypophobia, of body-horror nightmares where lots of tiny holes open up in my skin around my joints, so yeah, it's probably one of those common fears.
- wruza 7y agoOh, that nightmare when you stress your muscles and they rip into holes. I also had it, and it was weird, not terrifying.
- lowercased 7y agowell... thank you very much. 3 am - can't sleep... now I'm terrified of even trying as I've never had that nightmare but it's now stuck in my head... :/
