I don't mind discussing it at all, but it's hard to explain - something very realistic is OK, and street maps at city level are fine, but maps of the world can be scary. Old Mercator projections especially get to me, but sometimes I'll see maps of the world online and I just don't want to look at them at all. One woman online mentioned being afraid of blank spots on maps and I think that may be part of it for me too.

(You know when they have that thing in old movies where they show the map and the little dotted line showing the airplane route? I hate that, especially if it's in black and white. It's like there's some kind of uncanny valley of maps that my mind doesn't want to deal with.)

Does the map thing extend to globes?

Maybe it really is an uncanny valley thing wherre maps just st don't look real enough to the way the world actually looks? (Because, inherently, they can't)

I've never had a problem with globes. Pictures of globes, yes, but an actual globe where I can see the whole thing, no.

That may really be the case.
