I found this forum through Google. It looks like there have been a couple of discussions before about non-drivers. Perhaps there's a connection between social anxiety and driving? Or maybe not.
In any case, I have a mild form of social anxiety and I struggle with driving. I've had my license for almost 5 years. I really want to be a good driver. I've practiced and practiced. But all the practice in the world doesn't seem to help.
When I discuss this with other people, they tell me I just need more practice (even though I've already explained to them that I've practiced my rear end off). Since I've put a lot of effort into practicing, I find it insulting for people to imply that I haven't practiced enough.
I also don't understand why people think the solution is more practice. If I've already practiced my heart out, how on earth would more practice help?
Some people just weren't meant to drive. I'm one of them. I came to this forum because I was hoping to find some people I could relate to.
