Trypophobia
Hi. So i don’t think I actually have the phobia. I mean it doesn’t make me not live my life or anything. I just omg it’s gross and my body reacts to it and omg and I think it’s gonna crawl up me and become me and it’s disgusting and ewwwwww. Sorry I just saw a pic of a honeycomb cuz I was making sure I wrote the right thing ugh. Yeah but like honeycombs I can’t look at and dep on my mood I can’t look at any collection of dots if it’s tons. But holes in a group I can’t look at. Or at least I could that’s why i don’t think it’s a phobia. I can look at it. I can dit in class when my chem teacher has a shirt with a thick mesh pattern in it. And it’s weird cuz sometimes I can’t look at her shirt and sometimes it’s fine. So I’m prob just making it up or am tired sometimes or whatever idk does anybody know if u can have a phobia that just causes distress but doesn’t affect your life?

I am scared of falling. My fear does not usually affect me. It only affects me when I am at the amusement park. Or when I dream or hallucinate about me falling. I'm kind of sad I have this fear since I love high places.

hi!! Tysm for responding!!! I’m sorry ur afraid of falling. That’s sucky. Would you consider your fear a phobia? Cuz that’s kinda what I’m trying to figure out. Like there are tons of ppl that are scared of death, but they don’t have a phobia of death. Idk if I make any sense but if u understand what I’m trying to say pls respond tysm!!!!! ❤️

I wouldn't it is a phobia. To me phobia is something that you can not simply ignore. People who have phobia probably experience panic attack or something similar to it.

Fear is a good thing. It keep us out of danger. On the other hand phobia is an extreme version of fear.
Let's take dog for example.
Fear: People feel nervous and uncomfortable when they are near a dog. They could be in a same place as the dog but with a distance between them.
Phobia: People would avoid a place if they know a dog will be there. They might even experience panic attack.
Phobia interfere with someone's daily life.
