I’m just so afraid of everything in this world: of driving, of relationships, of college, of getting a job, of not being able to support myself, just of everything. And it gets worse and worse as I go, because I don’t trust that I can do it. You’ll find me ridiculous, but I have to drive for an hour and a half tomorrow, and I’m absolutely terrified. I could care less if I ended up killing myself, but what about the other person in the car or the other cars on the road? I’m so scared. I’m 21 freaking years old, and I am still afraid to drive. I hate this anxiety. It’s eating me alive. Is anyone else so afraid of such simple things of life?

I use to be but it really is all in your mind, once I started to understand that I started ti find myself more free and more fearless
I am sometimes. Not driving in particular, but some other things and it does bother me. ;P In fact, I can remember that once during high school I lied to the teacher that I have to go to the dentist because I was too afraid to be in the class.
Anyway It can be helpful to observe how nonsensical some of those fears are. I don’t have any numbers here, but… Sometimes you might just as well be afraid of falling when standing up from the bed at the morning. Now how many of us are afraid of rising up from the bed? xD
But these fears aren’t rational. Some may be tied to emotional things you experienced or heard, and some simply exist with no sensible explanation. 😐
I’m almost exactly the same! I’m very nearly 21 and I’m terrified of everything in an adult life! I’m scared of socializing, working, driving as well, finding my own place to live… heck even walking out the door or talking to someone about my problems is scary enough!
Whenever I think of myself aged 25 I don’t know what to! I can still see myself being a loser and waste of space doing nothing with my life because I’m scared… I’m too scared to even freaking kill myself
