In an August 15 blog post, Kendall Jenner came clean about her struggles with a little-known phobia.
“Trypophobics are afraid of tiny little holes that are in weird patterns,” Jenner explained of her unusual condition. “Things that could set me off are pancakes, honeycomb or lotus heads (the worst!).”
Trypophobia is recognized by the Association for Psychological Science. It does not seem to be linked to panic attacks, though Jenner, 20, suffers from those as well.
“It sounds ridiculous but so many people actually have it!” Jenner wrote of her trypophobic ways. “I can’t even look at little holes — it gives me the worst anxiety. Who knows what’s in there???”
