Were you to wake up one day with something like this in the skin of your leg (it can happen), I think you would realize why it’s can become a phobia 🤣 Also, I hope that never happens!

null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoLike most phobias I think most people experience discomfort with this imagery but to really have a phobia it needs to be an unreasonable level of anxiety I think.
IDK why we have a hard wired aversion to these. It might be a vestigial response to some kind of predator or danger which is no longer relevant.

I think that it disgusts me and makes me extremely uncomfortable. I would avoid it at all costs and I would probably freak out if I wound up unknowingly close to it. It is a weird type of fear. I can’t explain why but my body will insist I stay far the hell away.

I think it signals severe ailment, like blisters, pox diseases, etc
