A whole holed tree
Here we have an image of a holed tree without the nuts: you can see for yourself if you feel a more potent or lighter trypophobic sensation. I think the anxiety decreases considerably. This way, I can appreciate the trunk for what it is.
Given that we are discussing visual discomfort, it makes sense that the agony gets worse when colors or textures stand out. Don’t you agree? A theory claims that people with this phobia subconsciously associate the patterns with infections and skin rashes. Don’t you feel like scratching by now?
