Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?...I googled it and it worked!.Surely that cant be an official term?.Although they were insensitive enough to make dyslexia a really hard word to spell...it could also come out as sexilady Rolling Eyes

Okay so was looking around all of the phobia websites and I could not find fear of holes. then I found this and it makes me feel better that I am not the only one out there that gets the chills everytime I see tons of holes side by side of eachother. when I was small I was botherd by it and most of the time I can handle seeing it but a few days ago. it really botherd me and I was messed up all day and the following day. I even started to cry and lose it in front of my husband because I could not get the image out of my mind.

Much like you, I also suffer from the extremely weird phobia of holes. Many people think I'm making this whole thing up about bein afraid of holes, but it all started when I was six and I saw this discovery channel thing on how this frog laid eggs in it's mate's back, and then when the tadpoles hatched, it left tons of holes in it's back. Ever since I have been creeped out entirely by holes! Even thinking about them makes me want to crawl in the corner and hide! my skin gets all itchy, my heart races, and I sweat like none other!!!

Anyway...the name for the phobia is trypophobia. There are actually quite a few people with the phobia, but most of them are girls.


that's so weird, because i also saw the surinam frog special when i was little, and have been creeped out by holes ever since then...my skin itches like crazy when i see holes, mostly those thayt have an unusual pattern, unlike an organized pattern such as mesh.
