i have a hunch it has something to do with my dad being killed by a car, but it doesn't feel like that's the reason.

i just overthink things. i imagine in my hands i control a 2 ton mass of metal hurling down the road. i'm afraid i might kill myself or someone else.

see this only makes me slightly nervous because i know it's a video. if you guys are wondering, i don't feel any anxiety when i'm a passenger in a car.

what is it that makes you feel anxious? is it that you feel liable for passengers' safety when you drive? or is it the same thing about cars being able to kill people? or is it crashing in general?
just make all your passengers wear seatbelts, don't think about that car weapon stuff, and practice on the small roads until you get a good feel of the car

i dont know much about anxiety but try not to think too much of the stuff that causes it if you can

see if you can get anxiety medication. it's worlds better.
also practice driving in parking lots and stuff so you can get used to it. if you can get rid of your association between cars and death/pain/etc., you'll be cured.
