From nomophobia, an irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, to xanthophobia, a fear of the color yellow, countless phobias exist out there. Now this time, we’re delving into the mind of megalophobes, people who are in fear of anything large, like skyscrapers and jumbo jets.
In fact, there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to sharing examples of this phobia known as megalophobia. “A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are 'triggers' for those with megalophobia,” the group’s description states.
Below we rolled up some of the most interesting examples shared on the group, so scroll down. Also, when you’re done reading this one, make sure to check out part 1 of the article.

Admit it! Who wants to let a beachball go at the top and watch it roll down.
I wish you could use a slinky but it wouldn't work☹️soooooo beachball it is!!!

Even if I was willing, I don't think I'd be able to go all the way down that thing, much less up.
Absolutely not. About three rows down, my vertigo would be kicking my a*s, I'd fall right over the side.
I'd need to be dragged down that. In 2012 I had a work thing in st. Louis and decided to visit 6 Flags. New Rollercoaster and it drags us up to the top and stalls for 45 minutes before we have to climb down it on aside piece of wood about a banana long ways wide. Not fun.
I remember going to a 6 Flags and seeing people get stuck at the top of the Rattler for a bit... on a hot Texas summer day. That would traumatize my a*s lol

plot twist: your annoying a$$ little brother pokes you and you panic and trip over the edge...
Hell NO and all that. But what building is this?? What little can be seen of it looks shabby at best to me. Also imagine being caught on it during a quake. What am I even saying, it would most probably detach from the building and become a "Stairway to Heaven" in no time flat‼️
Take away the steps and put in a slippery slide. that’d get you down faster!
That is an advertisement for orthopedists. If you didn't need knee replacements before you will after.
Nope to the stairs and nope to the building. Found this pic link on the Reddit thread. It's in Brazil. wEJZRo8.jpg 
I just don't get why you would not at least just enclose that. I mean even just with the railings going all the way...
I didn't think I could hate spiral staircases anymore than I do and here we are.
Walk it everyday and you'll have prize winning calves, and not the county fair kind.
I want to make a wagon with bigger wheels on the left side and roll all the way down
Excuse me sir; could you tell me how to get to the elevator? Thanks.
“Cassandra, from this height…you could really hock a loogie on someone.”
Appearance-wise it is a great improvement on typical high-rise stairs built in a stairwell...
A slide would be better. But vertically, I'm not sure people like it lol
And that's just a 30 story building. Wouldn't want to walk that down, but would get there in the end.
Rather burn to death. From memory, this is in São Paulo, so that is a distinct possibility.
the school fire alarm going off and having to take the stairs be like:
