why oh why did you do this.

also why oh why did i look.

i'm fine with the inorganic ones, though, or at least not physiologically distressed.

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:12 (fifteen years ago)

Also, things like that building or the art don't bother me at all. This really only gets to me when it's things in the natural world. That tree trunk Grady posted is awful.

Yeah, it's HORRIBLE, right?

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:15 (fifteen years ago)

totally have the creepy crawlies again

The only organic example of this that doesn't really bother me are honeycombs. I'm fine with those but apparently they're really problematic for some people.

One of the weirdest things about it is that even though this is very much a thing for me, I can't not open this thread when I notice it's been updated.

Maresn3st, Thursday, 16 January 2025 20:17 (one year ago)

it's interesting to me that the tryp- of trypophobia (Ancient Greek τρῦπα [trûpa, “hole”]) doesn't have anything to do with the greatest/grossest hole-y substance of all time, tripe (which has an unknown origin but may be Arabic or Old Norse).

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:19 (one year ago)

i never looked into it until now, but had always assumed it meant "fear of tripe-like substances"

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:20 (one year ago)

i don't think i'm afraid of a bunch of holes as much as i am disgusted by the notion of something infesting your skin? that seems different. altho i haven't read the thread and probably won't be

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:22 (one year ago)

^ I think that's why it's a not uncommon syndrome, people have been afraid of disease for ages, and that's one symptom. Like small pox, measles, etc.

nickn, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:25 (one year ago)

yeah. i tried doing a little research into it but was surprised i couldn't find anybody saying what you said, which seems like the obvious explanation. on the other hand, i'm dissuaded from digging too deeply into it because the internet is filled with unpleasant things and i don't want to fill my head with them
