    That whole in the side of their cheek by their earring makes me uncomfortable.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia

      Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps.[3][4][5] It is not officially recognized as a mental disorder, but may be diagnosed as a specific phobia if excessive fear and distress occur.[1][4] Most affected people experience mainly disgust when they see trypophobic imagery.[4] A minority of people experience the same level of fear and disgust, and a few express only disgust or fear.[4]

      The scientific understanding of trypophobia is limited.[4] Although few studies have been done on trypophobia, researchers hypothesize that it is the result of a biological revulsion that associates trypophobic shapes with danger or disease, and may therefore have an evolutionary basis.[1][4] Exposure therapy is a possible treatment.[1]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_therapy

      Exposure therapy is a technique in behavior therapy to treat anxiety disorders. Exposure therapy involves exposing the target patient to the anxiety source or its context without the intention to cause any danger (desensitization). Doing so is thought to help them overcome their anxiety or distress.

      Hmm. Well, I guess it’s for a good cause.
