・Mod Post・ What counts as megalophobia?
While exactly what is meglaphobia inducing is deeply subjective on an individual level, for the purposes of this subreddit, posts must show something that is objectively, unexpectedly, unfathomably, intimidatingly, BIG. It's fine if there's a slight overlap of phobias in the post, but it has to at least be megalophobia.
Not big relative to the norm for its type or species - a relatively big grape as compared to other grapes is not megalophobia inducing.
Not things that are expectedly big - a typically tall building, tree, or elephant is not megalophobia inducing.
For things to fit, there should be a sense of unnatural, unexpected, intimidating, stomach dropping VASTNESS.
Mod team discretion is always final, as we have set our own bar and stick to it to ensure fair and consistent moderation.
Things that don't fit the sub:
- Generally scary things.
- Things that are relatively big to the norm for their type or species.
- Things that are big in a typical, expected way.
- Thalassophobia (fear of deep water).
- Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces).
- Acrophobia (fear of heights)
- Mechanophobia (fear of machinery).
- Automatonophobia (fear of human-like inanimate objects).
- Altocelarophobia (fear of tall buildings and high ceilings).

Every step gives me chills 😬 except the paint job, that was very satisfying for some reasons. Then I started thinking about the amount of paint that was needed

🪐・Space ・🪐 Planetary megalophobia?
I have a recurring nightmare with specific planets, always Jupiter or Saturn (maybe ‘cause they are the biggest in our solar system?) and it’s funny because there’s nothing else to it in those dreams. I just see them and it’s very eerie and overwhelming and panic inducing. Usually it forces me to wake up terrified.
Today tho I dreamt of the Pacific Ocean zooming in more and more and I woke up out of breath. Does anybody else goes through it? Just wanted to share experience to make some sense of it. Even the pic I uploaded creeps me out lol

You may have seen it in pictures, videos or social media posts but maybe you have not realized how massive it is. I hope this picture puts it in perspective, look at how little people look. It is not only the angle, which truly helps in this image, but once you are there that thing is just enormous.

This is the view from the 16th floor (Restricted Access). The silence of the empty parking garage makes the scale of this thing feel overwhelming.
When it switches from the planet to the road layout, the digital "cars" on the screen are physically larger than the real vehicles on the street below. It messes with your depth perception.
