Nikita is a breath of fresh air. What a gentle, well spoken, and considerate human. I liked how he matched everyone's energies to make them feel safe, like when he saw how visibly distressed the girl with tryphophobia was and protectively covered up the object.

"I think I feel a lot of fear generally" -Honestly, same

I love Nikita! He’s a big, Russian, comedian, man and yet he’s so soft spoken, respectful, gentle and approachable. I’ve seen him in other CUT videos online and he’s just so nice. Not as stereotype of any kind. So neat! I wish he was my friend.

"I shouldn't laugh at peoples phobias, but this phobia is hilarious!" I love this man. His energy is my LIFE.

Nikita seems like someone most people would feel safe around. his tone, his body language, his choice of words, and his overall mentality and consideration for those around him is amazing. i love seeing him in videos!

cardigan lady is clearly such a sweet person and good mum. she tells people to be proud of themselves, doesn't purposefully scare them, is sensitive to their feelings, and overall seems so kind

To me, typophobia isn’t as “weird” as others may think it is. It makes complete sense to me why people would have this phobia. Clusters of small things resemble rashes/disease, eggs of dangerous insects that could cause said rashes and diseases, and they also resemble the aposematic signals (AKA danger signals animals have on their skins/exoskeletons to warn others that they are venomous.) I personally don’t have trypophobia, but I totally get why certain humans are hardwired to react with aversion to this danger signal.

nikita is probably the first guy in these videos to truly understand how to deal with someone having a phobia when you are holding the thing they are afraid of. Calm, soft spoken, friendly, careful, doesn't try to push it into people's faces... just a considerate human, good job

The synchronization of kicking the dolls was fantastic

Hi people! My name is Andrea & I’m the gal in the video with trypophobia! I skipped my part since I’m assuming they show the thing. Thanks to all who have been extremely empathetic and understanding of this phobia. I wish I could say it’s just a “disgust” reaction but unfortunately it’s far deeper than that. I don’t know how to explain it or the why behind it for me, but as far as I can remember seeing clusters of holes TERRIFIES me. It’s been debilitating at times and it does affect areas of my life. To all who have this phobia (or any phobia really) , I send you positive vibes and thoughts. ✨❤️ I hope you find people who treat you with sympathy and patience! & to all who don’t understand my phobia or any of the others, please remember that phobias present in many different ways to many different people. Most of the time we ourselves are aware that our phobias seem irrational or “silly” but we didn’t choose the way our body, mind and hearts react to things that scare us. BE KIND. 💫

I had to immediately look away when they showed the trypophobia one. I’ve had it since I was a kid, it seriously affects day to day life. People ALWAYS make fun of my for it, but it genuinely makes me nauseous and I can’t get the image out of my head

3:53 i have a little trypophobia and i cant explain it but we just dont like many small holes together. gives me goosebumps

The poor girl who was afraid of the smell of newspapers, her story of her parents honestly broke me. It's not the fact her parents punished her, it's the fact they used their own child's specific phobia to threaten and use against her. It's how phobias start or grow more intense as we age. I have a similar story with bridges or going over large bodies of water, my dad would violently shake the car or drive without caution when going over them as a way of getting back at me or just as a joke. I think my point is, it's okay to punish bad behavior but using something that's special and obviously shouldn't be used willinging around a child shouldn't be a considered punishment.

0:30 the way he pretended to be so chill at the start and then was the most scared guesser is fucking hilarious

Firstly I love that one of the guy guessers (the one that wasn’t Nikita) was so nice to the chicken girl, when they held hands it was so cute. Secondly, I loved that the chicken girl tried to get the smell of newspaper out of the room for the newspaper girl

8:33 Claustrophobia Guest crying ????? lmaoo the subtitles

i feel so sorry for the girl whose parents threatened her with newspaper. surely that further induced her trauma and she has so much to work through to get over it. i hope she can overcome her fear someday. much love to her

I wish they'd have explained why trypophobia is a thing. It's a residual instinct and the reaction is based on the fact that things in nature with that pattern are/were often diseased/infected etc.

its so cute how the kicks are so perfectly timed at 10:45 🤣

4:55 Man's in the back really prayed 😭😭😭😭 He handled it well :,))

I hope the person with tryphophobia overcomes their fear. It seems like it affects them alot in their day to day life

Nikita is such a blast, love seeing him here again

The girls story about her dad putting a blanket over her head and hugging her made me physically uncomfortable. I would hate that. It brought out memories of my siblings tickling me until I couldn’t breathe and I was sobbing. My muscles would freeze up and I couldn’t move to get away. Your body’s natural response is to laugh even if you hate it and you were also crying. They’d say “but you’re laughing!” They would tickle me so bad I would throw up. I’m super sensitive to it now. Like if I’m sitting with my boyfriend and he puts his hand on my thigh he can’t be caressing me with it. I don’t like seeing other people get tickled either. When I see a parent tickle their toddler it makes me tense up and hold my breath just hoping they’ll stop before they traumatize the kid.

I just love that the three guessers were really kind and respectful about the phobias. Nikita and Nicole did great on achieving a trusting ambient for everyone, and Gigs had a great charisma Unlike the other video, with the guy going "I'M GOING TO CURE YOUR PHOBIA OF FISTS BY PUNCHING YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE"

as someone with trypophobia, I can't really answer questions like "how" and "why". Because I don't know, I just don't like it and it gives goosebumps every single time

I love how each guesser was very respectful and also how you can literally see that these objects made each person genuinely uncomfortable…great line up

1:37 the girl sniffing her hair is a mood.

Really like Nikita, Gigs and Nicoles. Gigs is really funny and espontaneous. Nikita is also very funny but gentle and well spoken at the same time. Nicoles is very kind, caring and soft spoken, seems to be a great mom. Love all three of them ❤

It’s crazy because they confront their phobia THREE times in one day. That’s instense!

all these guessers were so sweet. nikita had this caring, gentle vibe to him nicole seems super respectful and understanding to everyone coach has this bright personality and it seems he knew how to make anyone smile

4:45 of I was him I would cry with happiness I ADORE snakes

I have trypophobia due to a time I had an adverse reaction to a prescription drug that caused me to see vivid hallucination of spiders crawling out of my skin and pores and the holes really freaked me out

Hey y’all. My name is Felicia, the girl in the orange windbreaker. Appreciate the feedback of the video and my phobia of dolls aka pediophobia. It is completely a real thing for those that don’t believe so. Many have a fear, I have a phobia. There was a lot cut out of this video that explained why I have my phobia. Personal real life experiences, abuse, horror films, tormenting, etc. I have never liked them. No, I am not a tom boy. Yes, I do have a lot of guy friends. But, all that is stereotypical. The point really was to face our phobias and some of us did that. I could not. It might of been a $200 American Girl Doll, but with this phobia, I don’t give a da*n. For the people that were able to face their phobias on this line up, good for them, I can’t help my phobia. That’s why it’s a phobia. They are creepy, life-like and come off as alive to me. Again, thanks for your feedback and let’s try to be a little bit understanding for the line up that was able to do this. It was fun, but we also had to do it 3 times. At this point, my heart was racing, my armpits and palms were sweaty and I had to pee, which you can see myself moving a bit to try and hold it. Dolls and Barbie’s and stuffed dolls and all that jazz ain’t for me. Neither are those ventriloquist dummies. I’m not with it. Haha🤣

Man in black sweater is actually hilarious, please bring him back

I have trypophobia and she does exactly what I do! I had to look away when they showed it but wow so cool to see someone else doing the same thing as me lol

Pediophobia is so crazy to me, as someone who has it, i dont like dolls but i also dont like mannequins, statues, and animatronics. I can be around that stuff someone what but i wont stop obsessing over the thought of it moving until i leave.

I personally have trypophobia and I would like to say that one time I told my classmates at my table about it so they would know and be cautious with searching it up. ( we had a project on phobias and they were especially bringing light to trypophobia ) Unfortunately a girl at my table thought it was funny and drew small holes on her hand with marker. She finished and showed it to me and I started crying in the middle of class and then she said things that really hurt my feelings like, “ it doesn’t even look real”, and “you’re just crying for attention”. I would just like to say, if you have a phobia, it’s ok. You are not weird, we all have fears.

Here are the phobias in the video and their timestamps if anyone needs to skip sections: 1:03 - Alektorophobia, fear of chickens 2:41 - Trypophobia, fear of clusters of holes 4:39 - Ophidiophobia, fear of snakes 6:07 - Chloephobia, fear of newspapers 7:54 - Claustrophobia, fear of small spaces 9:05 - Pediophobia, fear of dolls

i also have trypophobia & as soon as they showed it i immediately started crying. it’s such a weird reaction & i almost felt relieved when she instantly started crying too bc it’s such a strong reaction we get to it. i also don’t understand why but it makes my skin CRAWL & i just i feel for her!

Nikita seems like such a lovely soul, his demeanor, his voice, how he handled each participant with care. What a gent.

As someone with Trypophobia, I understand that girl. When you explain it to other people, they don't understand it.

As a person with phobia of cockroaches, I think the guests are really brave. I can't even stay in the same room/house/place if I know there's a cockroach, and I start to shake and sweat and cry. People being so close and facing the things they're afraid of is REALLY awesome! I could never.

im terrified of death. i was threatened with death and being murdered by my peers, i know they were joking but i cant figure out if someone is being literal or not. so, trauma is what made my irrational fear of death! yay!

The irony that my own strange phobia (Chiclephobia) got triggered at 10:03.

I have mild trypophobia, and I agree with Andrea, the best way to describe it is my skin crawls and my knees feel weak. There's no good reason for it in my mind but from what I've researched it may be a biological fear rooted in the association between clusters of holes and dangerous animals and/or insects

8:09 "who wanna go in that thang?" Just the way he said that has me 😂😂😂

I used to be scared of dolls as well. Chucky and doll scary movies didn’t help. Until one night I had a nightmare and faced my fear and destroyed all the dolls in my dream 😂

3:40 ME TOO GIRL!! i understand you and you’re not alone . one time i tossed a knife when cutting watermelon because the seeds were extremely clustered 😭 i couldn’t do it , my sister had to do it for me .

9:57 The silence after this joke, was LOUD 🙃😅

With someone with SEVERE trypophobia, I 1000% understand where she is coming from…I can’t explain why I have a literally breakdown but I know that I get itchy and feel sick to my stomach

8:57 oh my god thats exactly what happened to me now i am scared of everything that restricts my breathing (water, face mask (in the beginning did a lot of training), also scared to suffocate while sleeping even though i know that cnnot happen without me waking up) i just panicked wrapped like that and yelled for dear life but i guess dads so etimes dont get that especially when it happens a lot and i swear he is a GREAT person

the black guy immediately reacting the way he said he doesnt react is too funny. it was completely involuntary, he just did it

Nikita is best human being cut have ever come up with. I aspires to be like him.

7:30 You can hear the shakiness in her voice...That's messed up man

I appreciate how the the moment the trypophobia got a reaction every one went- "im so sorry- ok you" and immediately hid or prevented the holes being seen

8:04 that phrase kinda got me Like if it was fascism again or something she would be the one hiding her threatened neighbours bf of simple humanitary principles Deep respect

When Nikita said he wrote jokes for a living, I thought he would a jerk. But he turned out to be the sweetest! He seemed very respectful of people's boundaries and genuinely curious to learn about their phobias.

the girl with a fear of newspaper, i can totally relate. i am absolutely terrified/disgusted/have an absolute hatred for rubber bands and my family also uses it to threaten me on a regular basis or make fun of me and it's horrible that I've even considered running away at some point. just a bit of advice, if someone in your family has an uncommon phobia, please dont use it against them. you never know what we're going through because of you

Not laughing at the fear but Nikita just showing them the thing full of holes like cryptonite was hilarious

Those people were very considerate for when the people had the phobia they would keep the phobia out of their way and comforted them was so sweet.

Nikita is so well spoken. He gives me Bob Ross vibes. A huge compliment!

You should have them tell childhood embarrassing stories and someone has to match the story up to the person

I have agoraphobia and explaining my phobia is extremely embarrassing for me, so I admire anyone that is willing to expose themselves like this

"I ain't never been this close to a chicken that I wasn't eating." 🤣 I have a flock of sweet little birds and this killed me with laughter

“i ain’t never been this close to a chicken i was not eating” 💀💀😂

10:40 the best scene is when they synced the BOOT, to signal that they would both drop kick a bitch

I own many chickens, and my biggest fear is not them. My fear just came true, and one of my roosters got attacked by something, and his face was all bloody. They aren’t scary if you treat and train them right.

1:24 “i aint ever been dis close to a chicken im not eating” killed me

10:47 is the best synchronicity to date 😂 thoroughly enjoyed this episode

having generalized anxiety disorder myself, it’s fascinating how something that seems so insignificant to some can have such a large impact on the lives of others. the human brain is something else, man.

I have the BIGGEST trypophobia,everytime I see it I get goosebumps,anxiety,uncomfortable,rapid breathing,itchy,scared,panic attacks,weak,fear and shaking…..

phobias are crazy, like your body just takes over you and for me i had no idea why, i was able to overcome mine but i understand how difficult it can be. props to them for participating in this and having to interact with their phobias several times in a day!!

I have Emetophobia, which is a fear of vomit, vomiting, feeling sick, nausea and stuff I'm afraid of myself 24/7 and from people and animals around me 24/7 One of the most hardest phobias to cure from So exhausting, a big hug for all of the participants from me, I feel you all

The guy always holding the things behind his back is so sweet. And I loved it when the other guy was holding the doll in the headlock

That simultaneous boop kick at 10.48 was crazy! I rewound like 5 times and they genuinely did the exact same thing at the exact same time no one was copying the other. Wild.

10:57 wish we could have LOL with tears after that reaction/ response perfect like once a decade when the universe aligns moments plz release whole reaction

I’m sorry I can’t get over the “I got them on my table” and then the silence after lmao at 4:10

they're super brave to face their phobias i could never lol

I love this. I love the amount of respect everyone has for the different phobias. And it was a good time and funny.

Some of those reactions were exaggerated tbh like they don't even try to pretend and just make it obvious by turning their whole head to the side like "oh yes that's my phobia!"

7:50 left side of the screen 💀

I like how respectful they were with their phobias compared to that time someone thought he could cure phobias

Nikita is soo Nice😢 4:33

I love Coach so much. His vibe is super chill and vibrant at the same time.

Nikita seems like such a lovely, gentle , compassionate human being . He really made this video that much more enjoyable .

I love how respectful they all were about not making anyone *too* uncomfortable with their phobia, no matter how silly it seemed to them.

I literally love that one guy. So unbelievably sweet. I hate some of the peeps on here, but he's such a breath of fresh air.

Coach. Has so much personality I love it

4:55 SNAKE GUY DYING IN THE BACK LMAO

I've had trypophobia ever since I saw a dead rotting sheep when I was a child (maggots, I don't think I have to describe it to you), and it traumatized me for life. Just seeing clusters of holes makes me wanna rip my skin off, especially the skin on my hands, and it does effect me in my day to day life as well. It's very real! and it's not just "disgust", it can legitimately ruin my whole day and make me physically sick. I wish more people would take it seriously and put trigger warnings and such.

Nikita is such a kind and gentle person. I love how he fully covered the trypophobia trigger object so she wouldn't see any of it.

Phobias can develop in childhood and it’s crazy how much things effect us while growing up.

I've been absolutely *terrified* of dolls since the 3rd Grade, I would have had a baby panic attack just from looking at the ugly thing, so I completely understand her pain

The person with the doll phobia is right, dolls are creepy. But the simultaneous kick and “whoop” was absolute perfection!

I have trypophobia, and I didn’t know it was going to even be in this video. I almost started crying when they pulled the image out. I had to put my phone down. I can’t even think of holes packed together without getting goosebumps. I’ve had the fear since I was a child. I remember telling my mom about it when I was about 6 or 7 and she said “well just done think about it”. My husband tells me to just get over it or breathe through it. I hate when people ask me WHY I have it. I tell them that a phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear. I can’t explain why but it is terrifying. I hate it. I’m shaking even thinking about it.

5:49 When I was younger I used to help my grandma in the garden there were many snakes. She put some metal mesh thing around the bottom of our patio and the snakes all died and left our yard. Haven't seen a snake in like 10 years now

6:55 don’t like how he shoves the newspaper in her face, knowing that it’s her phobia. That was pretty fucking rude. By her facial expression, I don’t think she appreciated that either.

9:43 THAT WAS SICK AND TWISTED LMFAO

I have trypophobia and when I saw that, I immediately felt my whole body tense up and felt as if my whole body was covered in clustered holes so it’s a big NO for me to see those things and I try my best to avoid them at all costs.

The guy with the beard is honestly the nicest people I have ever seen, such a gentle, respectful person❤
