TealToucan+FollowWhy Driving With Parents Can Be So StressfulWhenever I drive alone or with friends, I feel relaxed and confident behind the wheel. But as soon as my mom gets in the car, everything changes. She grips the handle tightly, comments on every move I make, and acts like I can’t see the road signs. It makes me so anxious that I start making mistakes I normally wouldn’t. If you’re in the same boat, try setting boundaries and calmly explaining how her reactions affect your focus.

jeffery02+FollowStudy the Route or Just Wing It? 🛣️🤔Before every new drive, I find myself deep in Google Maps — studying every turn, checking Street View, even scouting out parking spots. It helps me feel calmer and way less anxious when I’m actually behind the wheel. 🚗💨 But lately, I’ve noticed most people don’t do that at all. They just hop in the car, punch in the destination, and trust the GPS to guide them along. No stress, no overthinking. Honestly, I kind of envy that easygoing attitude. Sometimes I wonder if I’m over-preparing and making things harder on myself. Maybe it’s okay to trust the process a little more? How do you handle new routes — study first or go with the flow? Would love to hear your take! #DrivingThoughts #RoadPrep #GPSLife #AnxiousDriver #CarTalk51Share
