If you are considering located belowan image with fear and disgust: you have goosebumps running around your body, breathing becomes more frequent, itching, hair moving, and even nauseous, then you can safely attribute yourself to the ranks of tripophobes.
The fear of multiple holes in an organic and inorganic environment is called trypophobia. What kind of condition it is and how it occurs, we will discuss in today's article.
Immediately I must say that in modern medicine, tripophobia is still not officially recognized. She is considered something akin to a strongly pronounced disgust, normal for a person.
It is not known whether those who can hardlylook, for example, on honeycombs or skin with highly enlarged pores, those who are plagued by trypophobia, that this condition is simply one of an infinite number of fears that people experience.
How do fears arise?
But psychologists are not surprised by this.After all, people can be afraid of absolutely everything! The basis of their fears are usually traumatic experiences (bitten by a dog - there was a fear of dogs), frightening, shocking information (after watching a large number of horror films, fear of darkness may appear) or biological factors (hereditary anxiety).
Но, между прочим, нельзя забывать и о таком phenomenon, as the so-called "emotional infection." When discussing publicly the topic “trypophobia”, the photo of clustered holes begins to cause fear and loathing in more people. People from such a group say they did not know about their belonging to tripophobes until they read the comments of other participants. There is nothing surprising in this: it is always easier, for example, to laugh at comedy if everyone is laughing around you.
Trypophobia - what is it: disgust or fear?
One of those who are obsessed with this fear wrote thatstudent years, stung by a bee on the outside of the thigh. Because of an allergic reaction, a strong tumor appeared, and all the pores became visible on the swollen skin, and this subsequently led to the fact that any small holes began to cause anxiety in the affected person.
Psychologists say that to fear oftenmixed in and disgust. These two feelings usually go hand in hand: spiders, mice, vomit, blood - all this causes not only fastidiousness, but also involuntary fear of getting sick.
Probably, the surface “pockmarked” from small holesalso looks like anomalous, wrong, giving a danger signal, manifested outwardly in the form of disgust. Especially when it comes to organic objects: there holes, probably, suggest the idea of blisters and rashes.
Trypophobia - what is it: a rare occurrence?
Almost every person, faced with a discussionfear, thinks that he is the only one who manifests like. But no, people who lack phobias of any kind, and those who define their condition as trypophobia, pictures with images of multiple small holes on the body of a person or animal (especially those filled with something) cause discomfort. Just tripofoby remember the image longer and experience what they see more acutely. And the number of such people, oddly enough, is increasing.
Alas, while you can only breathe and recognize that the human brain keeps too many secrets!
