50+ Designs That Can Induce Megalophobia, The Fear Of Large Objects

Megalophobia is the fear of large objects. Some common triggers include tall skyscrapers, giant statues, vast mountains, big ships, and even animals like elephants or whales. But for a more comprehensive and vivid list, let’s visit the ‘Megalophobia‘ subreddit.

Created in 2014, it now has 764,000 members who constantly share pictures of things they find just too massive to be comfortable with.

Even if you never thought you suffered from this condition, the images are something to behold. (H/T)
