Yes I absolutely hate driving. Family and friends tell me that my fears are irrational and even my therapist told me we just need to work through my fears. While I agree that I can definitely work with my anxiety to help me for the times where I do need to be in a car, I don't understand why simply reducing the amount of time I spend in a car isn't the first solution. It's not a completely irrational fear because the risks are so much higher than so many "dangerous" sports like scuba diving, but my family doesn't understand why I am more afraid of driving than scuba diving.
