Umm, this might make things worse but it's more like our galaxy is like a bacteria of the universe, our solar system is like a bacteria of our galaxy, our planet is a tiny part of our solar system, we are each a tiny part of our planet, then thinking about multiple universes.... "there are more stars in the heavens than EVERY GRAIN OF SAND on the planet" and each star is a potential solar system with multiple planets orbiting them. We're in the same boat, I think it's normal. I'd go into more detail and add links but I'm on my phone and have to start work. We're so small it doesn't matter to care that we're small, live your life.
"there are more stars in the heavens than EVERY GRAIN OF SAND on the planet"
Yes, I've heard that too many times. It's not necessarily that I don't believe it, but I do wonder how people ever came to know this. Could you perhaps tell me? I'd really like to know.
They don't really know this, its just an estimate from taking a section of sky and using powerful telescopes and counting the stars in the area as deep as they can. Then they multiply that number by the number of sections in the sky...to put it bluntly.
Only if there are beings who exist with 1000 x the capacity we are granted. We could be a part of some being's body for all i know.Either way, bacteria is an important part of this biosphere we call our earth and if we are, in comparison, bacteria, we are still playing a very important role in life and existence.
"Only if there are beings who exist with 1000 x the capacity we are granted"
Well, if such beings don't exist, we are STILL like bacteria I think, because of the incredible vastness of space. The absence of such beings may make us somewhat more important alright, but I don't think the absence of such beings would make us any less bacteria-like. We would still be immensely tiny in the universe.
You are right, we indeed are not one cell organisms, as opposed to certain other lifeforms. However, when I described the human race as bacteria, I didn't LITERALLY mean bacteria, I merely meant extremely tiny. I used the term "bacteria" simply to emphasize how tiny we are. Perhaps I should've been a bit clearer.
Is it normal the vastness of the universe freaks me out?

But in comparison we ARE bacteria, right?

We are not one cell organisms. A lot of bacteria and germs are one cell organisms. So that is not a accurate statement. People have many cells.
