I think that trypophobia is not a thing.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It's the same as claustrophobia or agoraphobia. If you haven't experienced it then it's hard to understand.
It's also overused like gluten intolerance or OCD or the genetic predisposition to the taste of cilantro. A lot of people say a lot of shit.
Tastes just like dove soap bars to me so I just assumed others weren't exaggerating.
I never understood why people said the gluten thing.
Oh my god. Tell me more about the cilantro thing. I did a quick search but didn't find what that means. People says that, by genetic, cilantro can taste awful or something like that?
To some people it tastes like soap.
There’s actually a lot of taste differences between people. Salt, sugar, different herbs and spices will be different but I don’t think it’s well categorized.
yeah. both my wife and I have a bit of claustrophobia but like I can be on a balcony that is a story or two up and look over and can plain be on a higher balcony where she cannot. conversely I am triggered by height in video games like elden ring but that does not bother her at all.
...that's not claustrophobia, that's acrophobia. Unless you were trying to make some sort of joke, and if so it didn't land.
nope. was not thinking and wrote the wrong thing. my wife is claustrophobic too though while im not. Heck I love being enclosed. Im like a dog in that way.
I was so mad when I first had cilantro and it tasted like a mouthful of metal and not soap or citrus. Human variation is wild though
