The 35 Biggest Things That Make Megalophobics Run For The Hills

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

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

Even if you never thought you suffer from this condition, the images are something to behold.

Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Christian Jarrett highlights that megalophobia is not an official diagnosis as such, but rather a very rare and particular form of an official psychiatric diagnosis known as ‘specific phobia’.

Researchers don’t yet know the exact number of people who have megalophobia, which is likely because many who have specific phobias don’t seek treatment for them.

Specific phobias, in general, are a common mental health condition, and it is estimated that around 7 to 10% of the population has a phobia.

“Because megalophobia itself isn’t treated as a standalone distinct condition by psychiatrists, it means there isn’t any formal data on how common it is,” Jarrett explains.

“However, anecdotally, it’s clear that a significant number of people around the world identify with the condition – [after all], there’s a Reddit dedicated to it.”
