Overcoming Driving Anxiety: My Journey to Confidence

Hi, I’m a 30F who’s always been a passenger, never a driver. For years, I felt embarrassed and anxious about not driving, especially when friends and family would ask if I’d finally learned. The guilt was real, and the fear of being judged made it worse. Recently, I decided to face my fear. I started by sitting in the driver’s seat with the car off, just getting comfortable. Small steps, like practicing in empty parking lots, helped a lot. If you’re struggling too, remember: it’s okay to go at your own pace. Have you faced a similar fear?
