    I think trypophobia is a “meme” phobia on the internet.

    Like how everyone says “oh that’s my OCD”. It’s not really OCD (and it’s somewhat demeaning to people that do really have OCD), they’re just picky/finicky/particular.

    Same with trypophobia. It may be a crippling phobia to a small amount of people, but it’s unsettling at most to a lot of people. Like that. Lots of people don’t have a serious phobia around a bunch of holes (some people do, I’m not saying it’s not real)…it just makes them feel really uncomfortable in a weird and almost indescribable way.
