Horrible fear of dots

It's called trypophobia.

Oh god I feel the same way. Like ... I can picture them being on my skin or something! Idk...

i have the same thing but i'm not as bad, i just look away. i can't tell you what this is but i thought that i was the only one.

its called tripophobia, I have it too. I wouldn't suggest looking it up cuz some pictures pop up but I did and I just scrolled down so I didn't have to look at them. anywho, my case is a lot less severe and my worst fear is touching those things that look like hardened white sea sponge looking hinges on the beach, and I can just barely stand looking at honeycomb :P

........... ••• <--- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

I have been like this for as long as I can remember! Sooo glad I'm not alone. For me its clusters of dots and weird patterns. I don't cry but I get goosebumps everywhere and get rediculously itchy. Like even behind my eyes. Uuugghh so annoying!!

I have something similar I come across a bunch of dots in one place and I start freeking out I quickly close my eyes and think about something else or at least try too but through this time I feel extremly ichy and twichy throo the whole time til I get over it thankfuly no one has seen me like this and I wouldn't want them to either not even any family members have seen me like this is there a cure or something that can help cuz idk about u but I definitly do not like feeling this way

I just discovered this is a REAL condition today... Ive always been bothered by clusters of holes and layers of things like tissue paper... it grosses me out so much! Im so glad Im not the only one who has this Trypophobia! I cant believe it has a name... so weird... My husband thought I was losing it, Im going to have to show him this discussion lol

. . . . . . . <-- dots.. :3

Oh my goodness! I thought I was weird, but ok, i'm feeling slightly normal now (sort of). I can't stand dots either!!!!!! So glad i'm not the only one. I'm not as bad as you...I get goosebumps and feel sick if I see a cluster of dots and it's usually things that can be touched (I had a good laugh when you mentioned crab sand dots...I live on a beach and have to always look up when i'm walking...or go around squishing them as it makes me feel sick)...this is quite nice to know i'm not the freak everyone thinks i am! haha.
I don't mind stars or pokadots etc. My husband mentioned he hadn't had chicken pox and there's been an outbreak of chicken pox lately and i'm having dreams about my kids getting them and I wake up feeling sick. I'm taking them to the Drs to get immunised as I can't bare the thought of having to deal with it!

Oh, and the thought of nits in my hair...*vomit*...I could go on, but it's making me feel slightly ill just thinking about it, not to mention the massive amount of goosebumps i'm getting (which isn't good as they're dots!!!!) LOL

Have you ever seen what it looks like when you get a tattoo removed??? All the ink comes out of your pores.. omg, I'm crying and feel like I have bugs all over me even talking about it! I honestly thought I was a freak! I cannot believe I'm not alone and people understand this fear! I can't handle dots... especially pores of any kind..like sponges etc. Luckily I can handle sponge bob tho. Lol. Anyways, I am so glad to know I'm not alone. Thank you for talking about it!

My personal list:
-Pretty much any google image of trypophobia
-metal shavings on a magnet and how they move and gather
-layered, dirty snow and ice on the side of a road
-spider's eyes
-in high school I dissected a giant African cricket (or grasshopper?). It was a female and it's body was full of eggs...ugh yuuuuck.

I even got uncomfortable and itchy reading this post and its comments because all I could think about was the images I saw a few days ago when someone else on here posted about their trypophobia.

Think of all of the pixels (dots) you're looking at now. Makes one wonder if you'll avoid computers because they're a collection of dots performing a unified function.

omg, i honestly thought i was the only one! Im not afraid of holes, mine is purely dots! They put me off eating if one is on my plate, ive thrown a number of clothes away when the smallest of dots has stained them and i cant watch a film with any actors with a mole on their face-i have to turn it off! I cant even write a full stop, i have to write 2 of them, as seeing more than one isnt so bad!

Polka dots aren't asymmetrical, they're symmetrical
