I was in your shoes a few years ago, want to know what is in the future for you? The anxiety will diminish slowly over time and the frustration and rage at shitty drivers on the road will increase.
The more time you spend on the road, the more comfortable you will be.
This is provided that you yourself are not a shitty driver or retard.
Trust me I know, I can't stand that shit. The hours I've spent stopped on 680 or 880. But depending on where you are its probably clear at night, so give it a shot. I believe in you user

it's just about getting used to it, but you never will until you take the plunge.
I live in NY. Suburb NY, but still NY.
I didn't drive when I got my license because I didnt have a car to practice with- dad took it to work. But I would occasionally drive locally and it helps.
once i got my own car however, I started driving more and finding excuses to do so.
I was scared to drive on the highway, but I realized I wouldn't learn unless I did it so i just went in cold and took the car to work by highway, and now it's like second nature.
Still haven't gone to the city proper, or beyond my county, but thats more a fear of my own horrible sense of direction

How? I'm not trying to be insulting or anything, but the idea of someone never having left the county in which they were born after getting their driver's license just seems absurd.
Buy a shitbox off of Craigslist. Some cheap, $250, $450 2002 Kia or something. This way, you won't car if it gets damaged. Go driving early in the morning- between one and four works best. There aren't many people out, so you should be good. Start with the side roads and such if you want to. At some point, though, you have to take the interstate. You'll acclimatize. We're all gonna make it.

No shit dumbass?
nah i dont ride the bus. i use a combination of uber, my road bike and the subway system
haven't needed to. I went to the airport once though.
>i assume everyone was scared before they started driving right
Yeah and that's why there's so many fuckheads on the road. I was out of the womb and ready to drive. If you're afraid you definitely shouldn't be on the road because you WILL get somebody killed eventually. A car is way the fuck more dangerous than a gun.
