Now this is still theory and not officially recognised I think, I only realised it had a name when I googled why do I fear holes in things... it's kind of weird. I'm not super weirded out by it but i do look at it and feel slightly weirded out.

Anyone else?

If you need pics, go on Google image search and type trypophobia

Oh god now I feel weirded out....

I have typophobia, which means I basically can't be bothered to do any work.

Totes is!

The image search for trypophobia is mostly a load of Photoshop.

I kinda get weirded out when I see holes in the walls of toilets cubicles....

If I see an apple with a hole in it I always assume bugs so I don't eat it does that fall under it? :confused:

It's quite common I think. My car sharer has this.

Are they actually anything at all or just pointless models?

I still want to squeeze it.

Never heard of it, seems pretty odd too, I see why it isn't recognised (yet).

Some form of plant but someone had photoshopped them onto human skin and said it was the aftermath of a spider bite, it looked horrific. Like this:

Yep, it's 'orrible.

Maybe it comes from seeing maggots in flesh?

I don't even like Aero chocolate

I don't think i have a phobia of anything but images like that with small holes etc creep me out.

Didn't think so but that flower (not the one photoshopped onto the guy) makes me feel sick.
