Humans created the word "Microscopic" specifically to describe things smaller than us. In the grand scheme of the universe the word appropriately applies to us.
It doesn't bother me. On the contrary it takes a lot of pressure off of my existence. No matter how bad I screw up, it will all end up just fine.
If you have children or a spouse, then I'd say this attitude is unnecessarily selfish. Significance is relative, and if you put yourself in a position of significance, then calling yourself stardust to dodge that responsibility is just a cop-out.
So try not to screw up too badly.
Also, as master of a divisible space, you are pretty significant to the gazillions of particles and teeny-tiny universes unfolding inside your body a gazillion times a second. Infinity of scale is bi-directional, you know.
