Awe gives me anxiety

I know awe is supposed to be a good feeling but it gives me feelings of anxiety and dread.
Google tells me the word comes from Old English 'ege' which meant terror, dread, awe. I thought awe and fear were opposites so that's confusing.
Anyway, does anybody else get anxiety from awe?

    If you stand in awe of something you are powerless. Powerless creates anxiety.

    Not that big of a stretch.

    If God showed up you'd be in awe, and probably scared shitless.

    Nope. Then again, nothing makes me stare in awe.
