@kingsizeclaire: just to clarify i do believe these phenomena are probably “real,” but the vast majority of people who claim to have them don’t, and are just looking for a bid for attention, or trying to be different #madeup #fakingit #synesthesia #internalmonologue #trypophobia

Clio :

Synesthesia is real but I hate how some people think it automatically makes them smart and creative and if you don’t have it you’re lesser.

Serra :

I think everyone has “synthesia” that’s literally just how our brains are wired, like you aren’t special because you can associate a word/thing/feeling w a color 🙄

🔨 :

trypophobia is real though. i’ve genuinely thrown up before because of it.

ashlin :

Trypophobia is very much real😭

coop 🗯️ :

people don’t realize how serious phobias are, you being made slightly uncomfortable by something doesn’t make it a phobia 😭

thérèse :

i've had trypophobia since i was little. it's less that i "fear" holes but more so i'm revolted by them, usually when they're in irregular clusters (like how a log looks when there's been termites in them). i can't stand the sight of it.

Moth|🦷⊹ ₊˚ 𖤐☂️ :

ableism is so prominent today 🫩

No :

Trypophobia is real and physically makes me ill

嗅探器 :

REAL, especially the no internal monologue

Jade 🧶🌌🧡🤍🩷 :

I think the trypophobia thing is people not understanding what a phobia is. A lot of those images make me uncomfortable/grossed out, but nowhere near to the degree of an actual phobia

Mya :

I DO have trypophobia but it’s not the end of the world. Like holes just irk me a little bit but I don’t mind them. If you forced me to look at it, I really wouldn’t mind. I hate when people say that something is “triggering their trypophobia” like it’s not even a phobia I fear.

shonta🩷 :

people can’t see outside of their own perception

gracy :

the inner monologue one!! LITERALLY

Amaya🦒 :

Trypophobia is real i promise

willow :

I think some people with trypophobia don’t understand what a phobia actually is. The word phobia has been so watered down by the internet. Actual phobias control your entire life

famemonster :

Yes everyone has an internal monologue HAHA

Instant Hautes :

don't forget "aphantasia" (lack of a minds eye)...like I think they just misunderstand what people mean when they "see/picture" something in their head. so many ppl claim to have it but it is so rare

benbenbenbenbenbenbenbenbenben :

Polyphonic perception 😭 it’s literally just listening to music

CEO OF WARDEN :

on a related note aphantasia is real but it's not like what a lot of people think it is. It is normal to visually not see anything with your eyes closed, when you imagine something in your head, you won't see anything. Real aphantasia affects things like facial recognition due to a lack of mental imagery to recall from, don't experience dreams due to the lack of mental imagery, etc. Most people I see online describe aphantasia end up describing the normal visual response of closing your eyes. Real aphantasia is disabling in an every day environment

remi :

ive had panic attacks bc of trypophobia it is real :|

Encounter_a_wolf :

Hot take: I think everyone has synesthesia. It’s just associations. It’s not like one note is a color. When you hear certain music your brain produces imagery.

famemonster :

I’m so happy Jennifer Lawrence asked her that

chimeraaah :

SYNESTHESIA IS REAL. An adult dose of Benadryl and steroids for an allergic reaction while i was 93lbs made me feel sounds. The clock felt like a shove

mαyα :

i don’t have an internal monologue, its literally just me not being able to hear my thoughts.. i know what im thinking but i literally can’t hear anything in my head. i also used to have really bad trypophobia but it’s not a “fear” its just being uncomfortable looking at that type of stuff. it’s gotten better over time but some media is still really disgusting to look at.
