Do Not Google For Trypophobia!

Before you read further, answer this question truthfully: "Do you feel like scratching your scalp raw after seeing the following picture?"


This was what a friend of mine posted on Facebook the other day and my entire body broke out in hives immediately. 

If you are feeling unnerving like me, then you probably have Trypophobia.

Trypo-what?

Trypophobia is described as the irrational fear of clusters of holes, pods, circles, cracks, cuts and/or other asymmetrical shapes, especially those found in nature.

I shall not torment you further but you will be glad to know that you are not battling this fear with holes alone because there is a support group on Facebook.


I do not even know why I am torturing myself writing this post! Urgh!
