I tripped across this phobia online and recognized that I experience some of the symptoms. It isn't a true "phobia" in me in that my level of discomfort is quite minor and non-disruptive to my life but from the time I was a child, it "bothered" me to see things like honeycomb or any clustered holes. A friend of mine had a necklace that was a series of circles (holes) and I had this irrational desire to cut them open. It was very minor, as I said, but still an odd feeling.
On the other hand, I love polka dots, perhaps because they are not empty holes?
What are the causes of trypophobia?
