when i had some struggles with something similar a while ago I noticed if I had the right person next to me walking me through it I would be way less anxious
Like some family members that were trying to teach me to drive were super anxious naturally and I was picking up on that and it was making me kind of anxious to learn
Then I had an instructor that was super chill and knew when to push the comfort zone and it was a relatively painless experience
Happy to say I have pretty much no stress whatsoever in my life
Thatâs probably a lie but things like driving, paying bills or just managing life duties in general cause me significantly less anxiety than they used to. I guess you could say Iâm comfortably meeting the bare minimum for being a barely functioning adult.
Also I think anxiety from driving is pretty reasonable. There be crazy people in those things and theyâre in control of big hunks of metal flying at breakneck speeds and at any moment a mistake (yours or theirs) could kill or seriously injure you (or someone else).
unfortunately thatâs just life and you go on with it or get stuck behind
my father instructed me originally and the old car had the instructorâs pedal installed but it broke down towards the end so I had to finish it on the driving schoolâs car with their instructor and it turned out i was doing many basic things wrong that I didnât know any better (my dad wasnât exactly the best teacher but Iâm not going to tell that to him)
so i wouldâve needed a lot more hours to even get used to the car properly and fix these issues and it was already a money sink (theyâre not rich and itâs a huge gift already from them)
iâll get my license when i actually feel like i want to drive and pay it myself so it wonât matter how long it takes, itâs not a huge priority anyway
âWhy the fuck was I such a little bitch thank God that jdance dude told me to shut the fuck up and do something that 5 billion other people on the planet do dailyâ
