No way man, just the opposite for me. We are all made up of the same stuff. You or I could of been as much a part of that giant star or lived in the tiny indent of a CD as bacteria. That was a SUPER cool share on the OP part. Ive already shared that with everyone I know.

Now and again I enter a weird state of consciousness where my mind is capable of perceiving the infinately vast distance not just from me to the wall, but even within me. At these times I feel hyper aware of everything my body is doing, and I feel rather uncomfortable about it, and I feel incredibly huge, but at the same time, since I can sense the wall so so so far away (adjacent to my pillow) I also feel incredibly tiny...... I don't know how to explain the sensation, most times I used to feel it as a kid whenever I was sick, but It's coming back into my daily life. It feels weird.

Astronomers say there are tens, if not, hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. How's that for insignificant?

In a universe, if they're right about parallel universes.

How's that for insignificant?

Though it doesn't mean I feel insignificant, since the whole thing actually revolves around me.

Let's also not forget the higher dimensions as well, which would in theory expand the "space" of space exponentially..... True that aparantly, everything folds up until its a single point, but there is still one heck of a of a lot of gak in that one point
