You’re not alone! I’m the exact same way, it’s like I try to wrap my head around the enormity of what I see and I’m filled with terror. My wife thinks I’m insane that sometimes I imagine falling in a space suit toward Jupiter and I feel scared.
Also anytime there’s an article about the sheer size of the universe, trying to get you to understand the enormity, I feel my grip on reality start to lessen and have to pull myself back and stop thinking about it.
I’ve noticed the moon doesn’t cause similar anxiety, maybe because it’s so close and tangible compared to everything else?
I’ve never met a fellow astrophobe, either. Hang in there.
