Transitive verb for 'feeling inferior'

I'm looking for a transitive verb for 'feeling inferior'.

Example:

I was inferiorised by his burly figure.

Of course inferiorised is not a real word and it's just a placeholder for a word I'm looking for.

belittle could be an option, but that would imply that the person has the intention to make you feel inferior. However, in the context that you gave, I think intimidated is the best option:

I was intimidated by his burly figure.

I suggest humble, which Cambridge Dictionary defines as—

to make someone understand that they are not as important or special as they thought:

He was humbled by the child's generosity.

The world champion was humbled (= unexpectedly defeated) by an unknown outsider in last night's race.
