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. Recently, I decided to face my fears and started lessons again—this time with a patient instructor who takes me on different routes during peak hours. Today, I managed to reverse park by the curb all by myself after watching some YouTube tutorials. It was nerve-wracking, but I felt proud! Have you ever struggled with driving anxiety?
