Weird things you can't look at?

Post Reply New Topic

Is there anything you feel disgusted by looking at for too long? And I don't really mean things that are supposed to be gross, more like things that would seem normal to most people, but are gross to you.

For example, I can't watch stiff, repetitive movements. Things like people/animals chewing, moving Christmas lights, mechanical parts, even watching people blinking, swallowing, or talking can make me feel sick.

I also have awful trypophobia (fear of small, irregular holes) and looking at people with bad acne, eczema, or chickenpox/etc. can give me chills and even make me want to throw up, and will stick with me for the rest of the day.

I have this with high contrast images, or images with too many elements. I also sometimes feel sick at certain electron micrograph images, which doesn't help as I'm doing a pharmacology degree.

I have scotopic sensitivity syndrome, which explains my symptoms.
