I actually peeked in here because of the mention of cookies, . Doing a quick search I found out that they’re not cookies at all but Cadbury Creme Egg pull apart sweet rolls so don’t worry, no freaky cookies. Just a heart attack in some pastry.
Edit: I’m sorry if it’s the opposite of helpful. D=
EDIT2: I just woke up from a dream where I saw a castle full of tiny randomly arranged holes. I wasn’t really lucid, but part of me thought something along the lines of “oh, so finally this comes into my dreams!”
I’ve never ever heard about this kind of phobia! It really is fascinating I have to say and my apologies to those who suffer from this phobia but I really never heard of it…
This kind of a patters I find most amazing because even though they might seem random they are not, their function is more then just random…
Well, at least those that are not just holes in some random object also I thank you mattias for posting this, I learned something new today!
I’m amazed. I just found out that what I have is trypophobia. I didn’t knew it had a name! Holes and circled patterns in and on objects and skin. yuck! Disturbing.
What a fascinating phobia. I always find phobias and the opposite - fetishes - very interesting. Though I’m not sure why images are being posted without spoiler tags. Hell, if I had a topic for my phobia, I’d have to be some kinda masochist to keep coming back to it and looking at the images.
Wyvern, you have a very good point about the spoiler tags. For me the phobia is mild. It was a lot worse in my childhood, now it just makes me shiver and feel disgusted. I have a weird theory about how there is a shorter distance between repulsion and attraction that one might think, though. I know that I am at least strongly attracted to one thing now which scared me into tears every time I encountered it in my childhood. And who doesn’t get the urge to peek at something horrible?
Mattias, I was eating, and innocently reading wikipedia articles about seafood…when this close-up of a sea urchin popped up in my face.
True, they could be in spoiler tags. But one thing I’ve found reading about it, and for me is the same, is that there’s a strange curiosity involved with this “phobia” (for me it’s like with Siiw, just a repulsive feeling, not really a phobia). I guess you could compare it a bit to people that can’t stop looking at traffic accidents. Whenever I see someone posted here a little part of me goes “yay, more of that weird stuff!” but then when I see it it’s “aww, why did I look? … any more images?”
Urgh! I had nightmares like this when I was a kid… Sometimes I’d dream the sky or the floor was covered in holes like some of those pictures… and I’d fall into them then wake up terrified.
