Who else doesn’t really drive?
I don’t know why, but I have never liked driving. My dad kind of taught me how to drive and forced me to get my license. Thankfully my boyfriend who is now my husband loves to drive me everywhere. It was harder when we moved out because he worked earlier than me. So he said I had to learn how to drive to work at least if we wanted to move out.
So currently, I can drive to work and back.. maybe in the future I’ll get used to driving other places.. for now I’m pretty much a passenger princess lol #GirlTalk #AskLemon8 #lemon8challenge #lemon8contest
It's quite common for people to have a driving license but still feel uneasy or reluctant to drive regularly. Many factors contribute to this, ranging from lack of confidence and fear to just a personal preference for being a passenger. For example, someone might get their license at 18 but only start driving years later, or only drive to essential places like work. The feeling of being a 'passenger princess' isn't unusual either. Often, if close friends or family members enjoy driving, they tend to take the wheel, making it easier and less stressful for those who dislike driving. However, reliance on others can become challenging, especially when schedules don't align, such as when you move out or have different work hours. To gradually get more comfortable with driving, start by practicing short, familiar trips like commuting to work or going to a favorite café. Using a calm, patient instructor or supportive partner to accompany you can also improve confidence. Over time, increase the distance and complexity of your routes. Remember, driving anxiety is normal and manageable with practice. Sharing experiences on platforms like Lemon8 with hashtags like #GirlTalk or #AskLemon8 can provide valuable community support. Many find comfort in knowing they're not alone in their driving concerns and can learn from others who have been in similar situations. Ultimately, whether you drive a lot or prefer to be a passenger, what matters is finding a balance that feels right and safe for you.
I’m 23 and I still don’t have my license and yes I do feel bad my dad has to drive but I always have an anxiety attack thinking of driving also I couldn’t even get my permit at 16 because when I was 5-6 my half sister drove my parents car and backed into someone’s car in our old apartment complex and blamed me and my dad and our mom told me I had to wait to get my license at 18 and I was like okay? It didn’t bother me and when I was 18 I couldn’t really see the point of getting my license but I also had a lot going on during that time and after that my brother passed away so I got depressed again and etc. Now I just have to much anxiety to drive and I’m scared of driving and my dad gets it but I still asleep feel bad he has to drive a lot.
