Trypophilia and Trypophobia: A Picture Thread? (Not exactly NSFW but some deeply disturbing images in here)

the sexy starfish thingy is actually gentiana urnula, a flowering plant that grows in the Himalayas. it's very beautiful & it's sad that some people might actually be creeped out by it.

@Barman - That's what the description said, "starfish succulents" ... and I don't like its pattern, find it creepy and not "beautiful." The flowers are also creepy looking.

Ground where palm tree was removed left holes; bugs coming out of some of them.

@starfish - You find seeds trypo? They don't bother me at all. And I don't know what the frig you're referring to by "holeyballs.jpg". Don't you give images you save names?

please do not take that unpleasant tone with starfish succulents (unregistered).

― estela, Saturday, 16 June 2012 03:13 (thirteen years ago)

@estala - Starfish belittled my aversion to starfish succulents, which I find to be trypophobic, as do others in facebook. I didn't care very much for his tone, either.

@buffandmaxsmom: I'm not trying to belittle your fears — I just thought "starfish succulents" was a cool term. there are some things that terrify you but have no effect on me, and I wish you would just accept that. the only thing on this thread that really makes my skin crawl is olive loaf, but I wouldn't be offended if you changed your name to "oliveandloafsmom" (hint: please do this).

― starfish succulents (unregistered), Monday, 18 June 2012 02:02 (thirteen years ago)

@starfish - I'm gonna keep my name, thank you. Every trypophobe has his or her own images that freak them out. Starfish succulents are one of them for me. Olive loaf doesn't bother me at all. A lot of phobes hate lotus seed pods, but they do nothing for me, unless they're photoshopped on human or animal skin.

these nests are even creepier in real time with birds flying in and out of them at a rapid clip
