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.

Too bad they're gone. If you could get them trained up a bit you could "surf" on them for transportation. The b***h would be teaching them how to read a map. That, and getting them to, you know, not eat you...

I have recurring nightmares about dragonflies that size. At least this thing didn't fly! (I actually think dragonflies are beautiful, when I'm awake, but the darting-straight-at-face-veering-away-at-last-moment-while-loudly-buzzing thing is unnerving). I'd probably take this thing over something with big pincers/mouthparts, or long grasping legs, or a tendency to drop from above.
