“Megalophobia is a fear of large or oversized objects. A person who is megalophobic can have their fear triggered by any number of things such as buildings, animals and even planes.”
I have a really lame phobia. Living in NYC has definitely cured me of most of my fear of tall buildings although I think that I would probably start crying if I saw the Burj Khalifa. And planes flying high overhead don’t make me too uncomfortable though I avoid driving on the Grand Central Parkway (next to LaGuardia’s runway.) When an enormous plane lands right above my car, I begin to shake.
I don’t believe that oversized objects are going to hurt me but I shiver and my eyes tear up when something seems overwhelmingly large. I hate how irrational and uncontrollable it is. I wish I had a phobia that more people could understand. Why couldn’t I be coulrophobic? At least the fear of clowns makes some sort of sense.
