Why Driving With Family Makes My Anxiety So Much Worse

I’ve gotten pretty comfortable driving alone (well, except for parking—that still stresses me out). But the second someone else is in the car, especially a family member, my nerves go wild. A few weeks ago, I was driving my dad to the store and he freaked out at a 4-way stop, yelling about a car that actually had a stop sign. I slammed on the brakes, totally rattled. Now, I get so anxious driving with others, worried they’ll criticize every move. If you relate, try deep breathing before you drive and set boundaries with your passengers.
