The Earth is 197,000,000 square miles, and it’s inhabited by over 8 billion people.

But if none of those facts make you feel small, we believe that the photos on this list just might.

Below, you’ll find some of the most unsettling posts from the Megalophobia subreddit, a group dedicated to featuring pictures that might trigger a fear of large things within you. So good luck scrolling through these images that may make you feel uneasy, and be sure to upvote the ones that remind you just how tiny we all are!
