I am doing this fear thing WRONG.

[elleflies]

I've just started to realize that I'm more afraid of driving then I am of flying.

Every time I drive or I drive with someone I'm constantly thinking about the potential crashes and disasters that await. For example, My mom drove up to Dallas to pick me up and bring me back down to Houston. My brother went with her and I kept thinking that we'd just end up crashing and my dad would never be able to manage without us. Morbid I know!

And yet I'm not even phased by being on a plane. I've even slept through some takeoffs and landings.

I feel like I am DOING THIS WRONG.

Statistically, you are more likely to get into a car accident than a plan accident. Maybe your brain simply *knows* that a fear of flying would be financially devastating so it reached for the next best thing? Or maaaaybe your relatives are terrible drivers and you just started noticing!

Ever since I started going to college, whenever I come home it seems like drivers have gotten worse. They're so horribly impatient and I'm always scared I'm gonna get into a crash due to them. I like driving, but yeah, the novelty of flying hasn't worn off for me so I'd rather do that!
