In this captivating video, we delve into the fascinating world of Megalophobia, the fear of large objects and the overwhelming sense of scale they present. Join us as we explore the deep-rooted human fascination with big things, from historical monuments like the Great Pyramids to modern architectural marvels like the Burj Khalifa.
Discover the experiences of individuals who suffer from Megalophobia and gain insight into their intense fear of enormous structures. We explore the psychological aspects behind this condition, understanding how our brains are wired to detect potential threats and why large objects can trigger such a profound fear response.
Through vivid examples, we examine different aspects of Megalophobia, such as the fear of the vastness of space, known as Astrophobia, and the fear of deep waters, known as Thalassophobia. From mind-bogglingly large celestial bodies to the eerie emptiness of the ocean's depths, we uncover the reasons behind these fears and the sense of dread they elicit.
Drawing inspiration from various art forms, we explore how artists like Zdzisław Beksiński and John Martin use scale to invoke feelings of fear and awe in their works. We also dive into architectural renderings by Hugh Ferris, which depict sprawling metropolises that can overwhelm and terrify those with Megalophobia.
Experience the unsettling yet captivating world of the video game Babbdi, where players navigate a vast and desolate cityscape that feels larger than life itself. Through its meticulous design and attention to detail, Babbdi instills a sense of fear and despair, immersing players in a world that feels both unnerving and irresistibly intriguing.
Join us on this thought-provoking journey into the realm of Megalophobia, where the fear of the huge and the allure of vastness converge. Gain a deeper understanding of this unique fear and discover why big things continue to captivate and unsettle us as humans.

Hey, I want to come out and say that this video was HEAVILY inspired by videos by Jacob Geller and Solar Sands, namely Solar Sand's "Monumentality", and Jacob Geller's "Fear of Big Things Underwater". It doesn't excuse me, but I made this video when I had around 250 subscribers and I had no clue what I was doing when I made this, (I even left the activate windows sign in the corner lol). I had never in a million years thought it would get this popular when I uploaded it, and I was a fairly new writer and had no plans of making this youtube thing a potential job for myself, which is why I took taking liberties from other channels so casually. I see this video as a stain on my channel which is why I removed monetization on it. (any ads you see is youtube not me) I still have it up because around 60% of it is still original, but just know I don't make money on this, and again, sorry for all this.

Alright, I see! That makes a lot of sense. I came to the comments to see if anyone was gonna point out the similarity, cuz it felt like too much of a coincidence that your video ended with Roygbiv playing in the background 🤣Good work man, the topics and ideas are clearly there, but you still made an entertaining video and took the whole conversation in Jacob and Solar's videos in a new direction. I liked it!

@Gurgashufa Год назад

Once I had a dream where I kept growing bigger and bigger. The bigger I got, the more I saw from the inner workings of the cosmos. Figures of people the size of galaxies appeared to me, but there was always a bigger one I'd see after a while. I thought they were some kind of dieties. The first one was a spec of dust compared to the last, and the first one was already the size of a nebula. When I stopped growing, I found myself in a room outside the universe. It was such an intense feeling. Being so huge that one swing of an arm can travel through the entire observable universe is an entirely different kind of unease. I don't believe it was some revelatory dream or attribute any spiritual meaning to it, but ngl I've been chasing that pleasantly terrifying feeling ever since.

Didn't know this had a name. Years ago, I had to drive for work to a place near Washington, D.C., along I-495. I'd never been out that way before, and I was driving through what was basically just a highway through the woods, when suddenly, there was this massive castle in the distance. Like, humongous. It just sort of appeared out of nowhere over the horizon, but you could tell it was still very far away, so it had to be huge. I remember thinking, "What in the world is that? There is no Disney Land or Disney World near D.C." But it also gave me this sense of unease, a panicky feeling, like something bad was going to happen because of this menacing structure that seemed to tower over the trees and the highway below. Turns out it was the Mormon Washington D.C. temple, but I swore, especially at that time, that it was a random castle in the middle of Maryland, USA. Strangely freaked me out despite being a pretty harmless place.

@Cresendex Год назад

Similar thing here, I went to a major city at one point and I was in a park, and between the trees, I saw the roof of a large structure, and for some reason, I was overcome with fear.

@benwillbur5791 Год назад

When they were renovating, they actually allowed people to come and tour certain parts of the interior. I went on a trip with my family, and walked up impossibly tall spiraling staircases that went on for minutes. To think that a brief, unguided tour through only 7 or 8 rooms took over an hour really makes me wonder what the point of making a Disney castle superstructure was, instead of a few smaller buildings. Weird trip.

@ButterBean924 2 месяца назад

I dont know why but I think that Gorilla Tag has some Megalophobic aspect to it. The forest map for example is a big, and tall map which may not be that terrifying. But taking into scale how big the stump must've been before it got cut down meaning it was taller than the map even was. Also the city map adds a HUGE scale to the game due to how big the buildings are in the distance, they never end. The scale of those buildings must be huge. But the biggest megalophobic area of Gorilla Tag is DEFINETLY the Clouds map. Just looking at the stem from forest just towering over all of the maps, it's just unnerving. The map itself may be fun but no one talks about how impossibly large Gorilla Tag may be. Gorilla Tag might have a large map, but I think Gorilla Tag's fangames can exaggerate the megalophobia of their own universe. A great representation is in level 3 in Capuchin's horror map. The forest inside of the map seems like it can go on forever, the monster has a HUGE presence in the map. You can see it from anywhere, the wooden watchtower is as close as you can get to the monster and its size. And the fact that you can get up and personal with it make it seem even larger

Not really a copy, we talk about the same concept but execute on it in different ways.

I never thought I'd find a video on this phobia. Everytime I say I have it, people are confused even though they can guess what it is. The concept is also hard to explain, it's hard even for me to say what exactly triggers it to avoid it. I'm terrified of anything that's even just bigger than usual, like large TVs, washing machines, mirrors, animals that are more often on the smaller scale... and even large things I've never seen up close in real life like planes and boats. With pictures, I am alright if there aren't ways of comparing the size, but it's hard for that to happen. Right now I honestly am only listening to the video, hiding in the comments lol but you've managed to intrigue me on a subject I'm all too familiar with, and I think I'll link your video to people who ask me about it and friends that want to know more! Thank you for this! 😊

I did a tour of some film studios on my last day of this film class I took and one of the sound stages we went into was ginormous. One open room, the height of 5 stories. There was a set of stairs in each side of the room that reached to the top of the room, revealing a giant catwalk that overlooked the entire space. Sometime about the space made me super unsettled. Maybe it was the size or maybe it was empty when it’s normally packed with people filming.

@alextears7153 Год назад

I have a type of megalophobia where it mostly applies to interiors and round objects. When I was a kid, I constantly had fever, and in those nights I would hallucinate the room I'm in getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and they always gave me so much anxiety my parents had to calm me down and help me sleep; and one time those hallucinations took me to an endless flat land where the floor was white and then sudden massive pillars showed up that led to me having the worst panic attack in my life. Though I now very rarely have fever, those hallucinations led me to forcefully sleep facing the closest wall or I would get anxiety, and have a fear of the big things. Yet oddly enough, I LOVE futurism and massive, liminal buildings like the game you mentioned, where they give me comfort instead of anxiety. Oh but show me a royal room or massive hollow circles and I get anxious lmao

@mrcomp1971 7 месяцев назад

This sounds like a mix between megalophobia and altocelarphobia. Which is the fear of big open rooms and especially high ceilings. Maybe the latter really resonates with you? Ever felt uncomfortable or disoriented when entering a giant church? Or a hangar? The feeling that if the room suddenly flipped upside down, you'd fall? That's Altocelarophobia.

Megalophobic here, big things are just such a menacing presence. Its existence feels like a threat even though there’s rarely real danger. It feels like it could overtake you in an instance, the fear overshadows the everything else. I only see an unnatural and crushing presence where others see marvels. There’s a mural of a huge clock a little ways by my house and it haunts me despite the fact it’s just a painting. It’s objectively gorgeous, but not to me, it’s just to terrifying. Not ideal, but hey that’s phobias for ya

great way to activate megalophobia: get a flashlight, turn it on in a dark room, and hold your hand out pretty far from the flashlight itself to make a shadow of your hand. then start slowly moving your hand towards the flashlight, blocking more light and making the shadow bigger. at some point your hand shadow will get so big youll get unnerved

@Cresendex Год назад

Is it not set in an algorithmically decided city in the far future? I mean no hate but the video (at least to me) stands on its own as not plagiarizing Solar Sands, I don't think one line in a 3100-word script qualifies as plagiarism, Monumentality is a great video though.

I've always had trouble describing this fear to people. When I say I'm afraid of large objects/things, they always look at me funny and ask if I'm afraid of very tall people. 🙄 I don't get triggered by photos, although they do make me a little uncomfortable. I do get triggered if I can interact with it in some way though. If I were standing close to some of the things in these photos, I'd probably start panicking. I also can't explore Google Earth or play sandbox-type games set in outer space, that counts as interactive to me. Static photos are fine though. For me the fear usually starts as a gut-dropping kind of feeling, and then vertigo, difficulty breathing, and a strong desire to hide or avert my eyes. I can't explain the logic behind the fear, there's no trauma behind it or thought-out reasoning. The fear has just always existed in me, for as long as I can remember at least. Cool to have a name for it now!

@011mph Год назад

My fear of big things only really comes when I can't see the object completely. Like I don't mind skyscrapers or big statutes on a clear day. But if it was foggy for example and I couldn't see the entire size of the skyscraper, that's what freaks me out. Or like if there's a big boat that's submerged partly in water and I can't see the whole thing, it scares me. Is there a specific phobia name for that kind of fear? 😂

Instead of a fear of small enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) i have a fear of LARGE enclosed spaces, if they are empty enough, like an empty airplane hangar or large storage building. I haven't found a name for it yet. When i was young and sometimes still, whenever i get a fever i have these nightmares about being in an ever expanding enclosed space. It terrifies me because i am trapped in a barren artificial space with no hope of escape, because every time i near an exit it expands past my reach. It's also just terrifying to be in an enclosed space when you can't see all of the walls because they are too far away. Sometimes i can feel the space around me expanding when i close my eyes and i have to jolt awake to ensure its not really happening. I was also afraid of being in buildings higher than like a third floor when i was younger and a little bit still if i think about it too much. I was convinced the floor or entire building was going to collapse under me for some reason. Maybe some sort of effect of setting 9/11 when i was like 7

I have a type of this fear where I don't like being in rooms with very high ceilings, like it makes me think the room is WAY bigger, possibly having lots of mysterious unexplored areas, and my mind makes me think I could just randomly shoot into the air at any moment and "forever fall into the sky". Its weird Even looking at high ceilings gives me the chills

@Redd_Is_Here Год назад

I have something similar. Not so much high ceilings but things (ceilings, rock formations, whatever) towering directly above me.

@madiotime Год назад

@@Redd_Is_Here I actually have a fear like that, too though sometimes it can be oddly comforting in certain circumstances

@Redd_Is_Here Год назад

@@madiotime I can see that. I somewhat conquered my big fear of it from doing urbex climbing cranes and such. No fear of heights from me but things above me still give me anxiety. Manageable now but still anxiety

This pops up in my dreams sooo often! It is mostly very empty, liminal looking spaces, sometimes containing furniture to add to the scale. Like, a wall with endless shelfs or a sofa, with an absourdly high backrest. So strange

I have crazy megalophobia, ESPECIALLY in water. The thought of a massive freighter or blue whale close to where I’m swimming or boating TERRIFIES me. EDIT: 1:46 this is what I’m talking about. I would be shitting bricks it I was in one of those canoes.

@noodles-ft9ut Год назад

for me its the same feeling of being scared of heights. when ever i look up into a air balloon i get an overwhelming feeling of dread and fear. i also get the feeling if i lay down on grass and look up at the sky for a while weirdly enough

@rat2316 Год назад

I have more existencialistic fear of big things especially looking orange sky with clouds and clear night sky

Thank god I'm not the only one. Sometimes, I would feel like that in a building with tall ceilings and really open area, like a wide field. It's as if I'm afraid I'll suddenly get pulled up and thrown down or something like that.

@Cresendex Год назад

I get a similar feeling going looking up at a skyscraper from the base, makes it feel even more huge

@zubrhero5270 Год назад

@@Cresendex Doing that makes me rock from my heels to my toes like I'm becoming unbalanced. The exact same happens looking down. Its like a vertigo sensation.

When I was a kid I remember playing with sims city builder and occasionally I would accidentally place a big object and get jumpscared so bad. Something about an object so big that it covers the entirety of mostly normal looking terrain was terrifying to my eight year old brain, and I would always close my eyes before clicking. Now I'm more fascinated with huge things and even like the feeling I get when looking at them, but I think it's tied to adrenaline and that primal fear thats still there somewhere deep down

When I was eight and playing the Sims 2, I got jump scared by a sim's nose being too small.

@TomoKystes 6 месяцев назад

It's crazy that a building jumpscared you

Sometimes I like to imagine an alien spaceship that appears out of nowhere and covers up the entire sky because of how unfathomably huge it is. Gives me chills.

In my opinion, storms, hurricanes, and even clouds can be one of the things that scares me the most. Just looking down at the earth with a huge circular mess covering the surface from a space station scares me. It makes me feel how it is down there for the poor people experiencing it. And from below, its not less scary. As you see a huge heap of cloud covering the skies, it really makes you feel tiny.

@pro-socialsociopath769 Год назад

Kind of the opposite for me, lol. I absolutely LOVE looking at approaching cumulonimbus clouds or supercells off in the distance, because you get this visceral realization that the thing is utterly HUGE - and it is literally THE biggest singular structure you are able to look at. Far bigger than any mountain, and the sun and moon just look like dots in comparison.

@microtheguyfromearth Год назад

@@pro-socialsociopath769 don't get me wrong, we all get that feeling

@Skrellder Год назад

And then you realize that the clouds and storms on Earth are microscopic compared to the ones on the Jovian planets. Planets just entirely comprised of clouds and storms bigger than our entire planet with winds that could fling a mountain like a speck of dust. Imagine falling into a planet like that. The scale would be incredible.
