I'm scared of what lies beneath the surface of the ocean. Why the hell would I swim in to it?

I don't know, my personal opinion on this is that you must face your fears to overcome them. Tbh I don't fully understand how phobias work. I remember that video where a women with a fear of clowns was put into a room with one by her psychologist, which I guess is one form of therapy. You're missing out though, scuba diving is great fun

 

[Mr Waluigi]

I personally think these patterns are cool, not disturbing or something.

 

[Fliesen]

not really trypophobia but makes me just as uncomfortable

totally trypophobia.

What the actual fuck is this


Why did I open this thread

 

[internetwolf]

Cantaloupe is delicious though

 

[Screaming Meat]

I'm more aroused than anything.

what about this

I feel a great disturbance in my loins.

 

[Unai]

I can't even look at these picture. That's horrible. I hate you, OP.

 

[Pila]

Hole shit!!

Sorry. (._. )

 

[Funky Papa]

I'm more aroused than anything.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I didn't even think about that. Much deserved. XD

Time for some Junji Ito story time?

It's called The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Check it out at your local library!

 

[Twilight Gap]

HOLY SHIT DON'T GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH THIS

DON'T

JUST DON'T

 

[darkinstinct]

Why would that even be a tryophobia? Looks like it is supposed to bring out the fear of aliens or something, not of holes.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Man fuck this thread I feel weird all over my body now

 

[Cilla]

I don't see how any of this is scary. Even that hole ridden hand.

 

[Newline]

I don't see how any of this is scary. Even that hole ridden hand.

Just google images the phobia then, I was fine with the OP. But I absolutely noped when I got to the search results.

Nah, I'm sorry, but I can't see me taking up scuba diving any time soon. I can handle deep swimmimg pools where you can see beneath you, but diving in to the dark abyss doesn't do it for me.

 

[alekth]

Hm, I don't think the reaction to those non-embedded gifs of actually extracting something like that from somebody's flesh would count as phobia. Phobia is an irrational fear, fearing something like that and the outcome it results in is pretty rational (not necessarily fearing it could happen to you in some other part of the world, but it happens to people). A lot of medical stuff looks gross at some zoom level anyway.

Tiny frogs coming out of a frog's back full of holes looking gross also seems pretty normal, at least to me. Ants seem to be the limit to looking at a multitude of tiny life springing forth and crawling around, without much of a feeling in particular. Maybe maggots for fishing but pretty sure that takes some getting used to.

Looks like the actual phobia only refers to the pattern of holes anyway, not of oozing wounds and things hatching.

 

[darklin0]

I new I was going to regret coming here. Now my skin is crawling.

 

[John Kowalski]

Why is this such a big deal on the internet? You want to talk scary, try Thalassophobia or Cetaphobia. The image of a sunken ship, derelict and alone, the shadow of what may or may not be aquatic beasts imposed against the endless, dark blue ocean...

This, my friend, is true terror.

[Butts-a-plenty]

Wasn't this determined to not be a real thing.

 

[E92 M3]

Yes, certain patterns of holes has been bothering me for a long time. I'm sure it will get recognized as a true phobia eventually. I didn't even know what it was back in the day - just thought it was weird that certain patterns made me nauseous.

 

[God Dayumm]

Does this trypophobia?

 

[L00P]

Does this trypophobia?

I think that one's called everyphobia

 

[PillarEN]

Barnacles on your knees

 

[Deleted member 30609]

no NO

 

[The Wall]

I'm talking about images like this. Don't click if you don't want to see holes in people's hands.

Is it a growth, photoshop?

 

[MarkMclovin]

HOLY SHIT DON'T GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH THIS

DON'T

JUST DON'T

OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HELP ME TOM CRUISE.

 

[inm8num2]

Pics in OP made me blush. Eww.

 

[K' Dash]

what about this

I remeber people being banned for posting that gif a couple(?) years ago.

 

[mhayes86]

I'm familiar with it, but my fiancée just recently discovered it on imgur. I will say that some of the images can certainly be uncomfortable, if not straight up nightmare fuel.

 

[Veritigo_X]

First picture is kinda disturbing because it has sort of a flesh appearance to it, but none of the others do anything for me.

 

[Keyouta]

I don't feel scared or spooked at any of these pictures, I think they look kind of cool.

 

[Auctopus]

Is it a growth, photoshop?

Peanut Butter

 

[Slayer-33]

Why am I itchy all over?

That's pretty neat. I've been a scuba diver for a long time and I finally got to swim with whales (whale shark, actually) last year, and it was amazing. There's always a bit of... apprehension perhaps? But not quite fear. It was lovely.

 

[Clockwork5]

Must not be a strong phobia if the OP is able to search, link and post pictures. Then is able to monitor the thread for new pics that will trigger the "phobia".

 

[FunkyDealer]

Seeing one of those toads in a jar at a museum was my first trigger for this. It freaked me out, gave me shivers down my spine and everything.

I'm no longer as easily triggered so I don't think I have the phobia anymore, years of looking at trigger-pictures and stuff has made me much less "affected".

I think it's because my fascination with the fear itself became stronger than the disgust and fear.

That toad is still disgusting as fuck tho.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

I can see why people don't like the ones in the OP, but my reaction wasn't as strong to those. The first one looks nasty.

The toad and the hand now have my skin crawling but it's not fear though, it just makes me uncomfortable. The anemone or whatever wasn't the same.

I had to nope out of the linked gif.

 

[hipbabboom]

What's the story behind this image?

 

[JoeNut]

the first one is fucking horrible, the rest are fine.

what is the first one out of interest?

 

[FuuRe]

I feel the urge to take a katana and do a fruit ninja to those lotus pods

argh

This, my friend, is true terror.

I feel chills down my spine playing underwater levels in games

This couple fuckers always make me cringe

 

[M3d10n]

Came for this gif. Gaf delivered.

 

[Mr Git]

 

[JoeNut]

jesus i thought i was fine with it but now i have a weird creepy sensation and can't help thinking about it

 

[Aim_Ed]

What's the story behind this image?

Someone put peanut butter on their hand.

I think our society might be approaching the tipping point, so decadent we're scraping the bottom of the barrel in made-up neuroses.

I remember the "creepy images" thread that linked to the whole manga.

I don't get spooked easily, and that was some creepy shit. Top shelf horror manga.
