From nomophobia, an irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, to xanthophobia, a fear of the color yellow, countless phobias exist out there. Now this time, we’re delving into the mind of megalophobes, people who are in fear of anything large, like skyscrapers and jumbo jets.
In fact, there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to sharing examples of this phobia known as megalophobia. “A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are 'triggers' for those with megalophobia,” the group’s description states.
Below we rolled up some of the most interesting examples shared on the group, so scroll down. Also, when you’re done reading this one, make sure to check out part 1 of the article.

NOPE! This makes me think of the Spanish movie The Platform. That movie creeps tf out of me. I shouldn't have watched it twice. Can't wait for this to also pop in my head while suffering from insomnia. It's still available on Netflix for those interested.

Before it was restored/rejuvenated, garbage that was thrown into that middle pit went as high as the fourteenth floor! It was rumored to have dead bodies in the trash pit and tool a year and a half to remove it.
