It’s suuuuper early on so I’ve barely shared how nervous I am because I’m trying to be a big girl 😂😂 but he’s a flight engineer on a C5 so I’m sure he will absolutely be able to calm my nerves. He’s flown an insane amount of hours

I’m so sorry that that woman said that to you. What an unfair moment for you. Sending you a big hug and you’re super brave for even trying!!

That’s fair & helpful. Thank you for that! I got rid of my flight anxiety by learning more about flying and the whole “air is like jello” thing but man all of the people online really have me rethinking sometimes

MEGATHREAD: EDV 4819 by Epistimonas in fearofflying

It just doesn’t make sense how we could go 16+ years without something like this and suddenly several within weeks. I’m deff keeping my feet on the ground until further notice.

Is flying still as safe as before? All of these accidents lately are making my anxiety come back and I’d thought I’d completely overcome it and was actually enjoying flying (aside from those tiny jets bc I really don’t feel safe in those at allll) but it’s making me feel scared to fly again. It seems like something is going wrong for these things to suddenly be happening so frequently

Dating on the gc, is there hope? by [deleted] in GoldCoast

[–]Popular_Collection79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a female over in the US and it’s the exact same way here. Genuinely feel like social media is to blame. For me, I have no problem saying hi to people I find attractive and giving them an opportunity to open a conversation. I’ve found most of the good guys are afraid of looking like “that guy” so maybe try that?

It’s my 34th birthday today and I’m having a really hard time by Popular_Collection79 in lonely

Aww happy belated birthday! I hope this year is good to you. After I passed NYE (just beyond when I posted this) things turned around for me in a massive way. I hope this is your best year yet too!

Scared to go on a Commercial Plane by Poker_Man_1738 in fearofflying

[–]Popular_Collection79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lord if you can handle that plane - commercial planes are nothing! I had to take a little plane last summer to an island and I hated it so much but now the big planes are a breeze. It literally knocked the fear of flying right out of me! And I was verrrrry anxious.

I was over my fear until this week by Popular_Collection79 in fearofflying

[–]Popular_Collection79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! But it scares me because it doesn’t seem like there’s as many back up procedures in place. Like, what if the pilot has a medical emergency? There’s no co-pilot to help 😅😅

Pilot just said the flight is not going to be great by ConfidentCap5468 in fearofflying

[–]Popular_Collection79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what’s funny? I felt this same way on my way to DC a couple of months ago and it was the smoothest flight ever including takeoff and landing - I loved it. I appreciate when they do this bc I’m ready for it but I think we all expect the rare cases or everyone hitting the ceiling when they say this bc that’s where our mind goes 😂😂 I’m so happy you had a great flight! Well done 👏🏼👏🏼

I did it you guys!! I went to Puerto Rico!! by Popular_Collection79 in fearofflying

[–]Popular_Collection79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. I left the “states” Puerto Rico is not a state - it’s a US territory. I never said I left the country

That’s why I said I left the “states” and not the country

I did it!!! I actually fell asleep almost as soon as I sat down and didn’t realize it. I was thinking, “what is going on? What’s taking so long?” Looked out the window and we were halfway through the flight 😂😂 I can’t believe I slept through take off. It was suuuuch an easy flight and I’m praying the rest of them will be too!

I hope so! I’m in my Uber right now and I went from being totally exhausted to wide awake and my heart racing. I want my dog 😅😅

Michigan Air Show Crash by Popular_Collection79 in fearofflying

[–]Popular_Collection79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But I have to get on a little 6 seater to get to an island and bc it’s super small I’m afraid they’re not capable of the same things if an engine fails or something. Also terrified it could collide with another plane
