It would be almost impossible to find a person who isn’t afraid of anything. Many of us are scared of something—even if we don’t readily admit it—whether those fears are completely rational or not. If you have megalophobia, for example, then you have an irrational fear of big objects, from ships and skyscrapers to mountains, giant animals, sculptures, and more!
The ‘Megalophobia’ subreddit is a well-known, sprawling community of 1 million people who share photos of incredibly large things. We’ve collected some of the most powerful, awe-inspiring recent photos they’ve shared that are impressive and even frightening, whether you’ve got that particular phobia or not. Scroll down for some truly amazing photography.
Bored Panda reached out to Glenn Geher, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author, for his thoughts about the fear of big things from an evolutionary perspective. He was kind enough to shed some light on the topic, and you'll find his insights as you read on.
Warning: if you have megalophobia, looking at these photos may make you feel uncomfortable.
