When I tell someone I have trypophobia, they think I’m joking because most people have never even heard of it. It’s a very real, very innate fear of objects with clusters of teeny tiny holes. If you can resist the urge to shudder, keep the goosebumps at bay, and force yourself to quell your nausea, then you da real MVP.
And if this article doesn’t bother you at all, then congratulations, you don’t have it.
