I've had my license for 8 years and I still don't get on freeways, drive to new places, parallel park, Park forwards cos I'm scared to back out or knock into the car next to me, (can only reverse Park), spontaneous drive, use drive thrus.
it's really fucking me up and its my biggest shame. I stopped having a social life once I started driving because I was scared to be designated driver or go out to drive to different places on a whim.
I've even broken up with girls over it because I was scared they would see me as a loser scared to drive.
ive had this problem since I started driving.

even right now I'm dreading my nephew's baptism because I don't know how to get to their church and don't know where their reception would be and how to drive there. even though it is still going to be months away and they haven't chosen a place yet
it's very crippling on my life

Yeah, I'm kind of scared of driving, not because of my car, but because of the other assholes on the road. I live in Alabama and everyone drives like a fucking maniac. I've had a lot of close calls, but no accidents. I absolutely love driving when there are no cars on the road. It's bliss.

This doesn't excuse the behavior at all.. millennials are so fucking stupid.
Grayson Brown
how the fuck did you get past the driving test?

Is it driving itself or driving with traffic? If its just driving, make a playlist and go out on a night cruise. Little traffic, comfy, good tunes, summer breeze in your hair. That's the life m8.

the fucking retarded older miata community did this shit. Everyone in miata forums/groups called them out for this bullshit, and there was even a group of locals in the state that were planning to vandalize their cars entirely once they found out they drove audi a4's. it wasn't until some fucking thirsty idiot decided" hey lets give them a ride in SCCA spec miata, that will show them!"
I literally cant even.

not him, but for me it's the traffic.
having to get in and out of hard traffic, on highways particularly- when everyone around me is an unknown variable and possibly stupid, and I'm inexperienced and with a large car.
though my anxiety isnt as bad as Op's. its more than I just had a brake job and the brand new brakes are still a bit squishy before they settle in, which isnt thrilling for driving 50MPH in rush hour on the expressway

Driving with traffic can be understandably nerve racking, but basically make sure you're getting up close to the speed of traffic on the on ramp, use your signals, and check your mirrors and blind spot before merging.
My rule of thumb is generally if you can see 1 head light in the rear view mirror,. you have space to merge over. Just make sure you're signalling.
