OceanOdyssey+FollowOvercoming Driving Anxiety: My Small Win at Curb-Side ParkingA year ago, I finished my driving lessons but never felt confident enough to drive in the city. My first instructor was impatient and never really taught me the basics, especially parking. After a few failed attempts and some stressful drives with my dad, I avoided busy streets altogether.
