Venting Can't drive for shit

[Sylveon]

Almost got my car t-boned at an intersection; the guy was ready to throw hands, but I just sped right away. Seriously, it feels so pathetic messing up even the most basic of stuff like this. I drive at around 20-40 kph because I'm just fucking terrified of driving; the first time that I drove, I nearly got myself killed...

I don't know what's more impressive: the fact that I suck so much at even the most basic of life skills or how well my incompetence at this feeds my suicide ideations lol.

Anyways, I hope that you're having a better day than mine.

You were right to drive away. I don't know what it is about the roads, but it brings out the worst in people. People are ready to go crazy over the smallest things. I think it's all the pent over stuff from other facets in life spilling over. I don't care if it's an old kindergarten teacher. On the road, they turn into absolute maniacs.

Was the t-bone your fault though ?

That's why I never bothered getting a license. That and I have nowhere to drive to anyways.

As someone who is learning how to drive (being forced to) I feel you. Driving sucks because Im constantly in a state of panic over crashing and hitting somebody. I feel so incompetent and like a threat to everyone else driving and it makes me hate myself more, especially because of how I'm told that everyone can do it but for some reason not me. Also yeah, people are really mean when driving.

"Funny" enough, I remember reading something that said that people with "learner/student driver" stickers on their car were more likely to be subject to road rage, and honestly it just feel like people just want to be mean just because they can be on the road.

This is why im scared of driving you know who you'll encounter let alone of her doesnt harm you or your car.

Even driving in a desolate area makes me have insane migraines.

But I have to learn tho...soon enough

Was the t-bone your fault though ?

Yes and no.

No because he broke the signal to pass extremely close to me… And yes 'cause I knew people followed that particular signal as per their will (welcome to the third world).

If you are new to driving it makes sense it takes some time to fully understand how the car moves and visualize every action in my mind

I remember even months after my sister got her license I would be reminding her to check the front left when she was trying to reverse right. It just takes a bit for our brains to get comfortable and adapt

About slow driving yeah I'll admit even I am sometimes impatient and stick to slow drivers and getting annoyed
But no matter what just stay calm don't let anyone hurry you or get you into panic or anything think to yourself they can go fuck themselfs I drive just the speed that feels safe to me, stick to the right and no one should ever bother you if you feel overwhelmed worst case scenario let them pass and continue peacefully

You probably don't suck at driving at all just continue driving until it becomes less terrifying and more as just a routine most people don't even think about the driving part

Good luck!
