i got my license in 2018, drove once by myself and almost got hit by a bus. after that i didnt drive by myself until march this year and im still absolutely terrified. the thing is that im not necessarily scared of getting into an accident again tho which is why i wouldnt necessarily call this driving anxiety? ofc i have respect and still worry about it but i know im a good driver and i get told so by everyone i know. im mainly scared of what others think. im scared of looking dumb, im scared of driving too slow, im scared that people make fun of me. i have heavy social anxiety and im guessing it just influences me while driving as well. i look incredibly young for my age so people tend to stare at me when im driving. i dont like using make up but never drive without it anymore just to make myself look older. i cant handle people staring at me but it happens all the time. people usually pass me although i drive as fast as im allowed to and then look at me, snickering, probably thinking that im still a beginner because i look young and have no clue what im doing. although i didnt drive for almost two years, its like riding a bike, you cant unlearn it. im just so tired of it. why cant they just focus on themselves instead of making others insecure? i know i shouldnt care, i know im doing everything wrong, but whenever someone stares at me i feel like i AM doing something wrong although im not. i just dont know how to get rid of it :/
