Does anyone else have it? I recently discovered that I'm a trypophobic, and it's kind of funny because I always thought people with phobias were stupid. Well, I now have a bit of empathy for the phobics, simply because I'm now one of them. Whenever I get a reaction, I feel shivers on my face, I become nervous, my heart starts to beat faster, and I feel like I'm going to vomit. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl! GAWD!

How did you discover it? And how extreme? Just wondering, because it can be as bad as people being afraid of their cavities.
And to answer the question, I do not have a phobia of which I am aware.

In pertaining to the lotus seed pods, then it's normal. Almost everyone is somewhat bothered by that plant.

Tip if you Google it: DO NOT GO TO THE SNOPES LINK! It is terribly disgusting.

I misread the topic title, thought it said 'TRYophobia'. Was ready to be all *ENCOURAAAGE* (the best kind of rage! =D)
But yeah, I googled it and those things are freaky O.o

It's not just the seed pods for me. Look up cow tripe *Shivers OMG*. Also, look up lotus breast. It's fake, but it keeps me up at night! I am terrified that I'm just going to wake up with holes on my body!

I do have a problem with it. It used to bother the hell out of me but I've kinda learned to deal with it. That maggot bra story that went around for a while was that turned out to be fake was what made me really get it bad.
I also hate the residue from when bubbles pop and there's that little outline left on the surface they were on.

Fun fact: I have seven holes in my face. This statement is valid... Also, I've seen the lotus pod thing, I see nothing wrong with it :/ I understand (now) that people can go into shocks from it, but I guess I don't have it =P

Loads of people have phobias, it's quite common.
My friend's a trypophobia and can't stand crumpets. :S
