Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Ireland sits at about 53°N and is stretched to 2.78× its true area; Myanmar at 21° N is stretched to 1.15×. That difference is why Ireland looks so much bigger than it is next to Myanmar. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
