Trypophobia

"look at me, I am so rare I have trypophobia!"
No one gives a fuck, of course things that look like aids make you feel uncomfortable, no-one likes the look of decomposing, pulsating genital herpes.

Writer's Trypophobia

Trypophobia, in small terms, means the fear or disgust of holes.
Writer's Trypophobia means the fear of plot holes in a story you're writing.

To write yourself a large novel, and realise at one point, that there's at least one plot hole, and now you're terrified of how many other other plot holes you've dug for yourself. Well done. *slow claps*
"Hey Nanowrimo, I'm stuck on my story! I've got so many plot holes to fix!"
"Do you need any help or hints?"
"Yes, please. I have such Writer's Trypophobia!"

Being tyrophobic, married life is very difficult for me, due to the fact that my wife is a tyrophilliac. Tyrophobic people find it rather hard to get along with Tyrophilliacs, for obvious reasons.

trypophobia

Intense irrational fear of small holes and clusters of circles and bumps. It can be triggered by consumer products such as the iPhone Max and Pro Max. The phobia can be activated in the brain when a visual stimulus has the same characteristics as a dangerous organism.
Typically computer companies like Apple and Google come up with ways in which to make their products highly addictive so their customers are highly dependent on them. Finally, they have come up with a way to become phobic regarding their devices. People with the trypophobia trait should have a selective advantage in finding a breeding partner.
