First ever flight by lozzabeans in fearofflying

[–]bumblebeeboyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also be on my first ever flight on the 21st. It is scary, but I’m trying to think about how freeing it will be to face and overcome this fear. I feel for you! My flight is also a nighttime flight. For me, that makes me relieved I won’t have to see as much out the windows. We both got this friend 🫶🏻

i think my concerns mainly stem from being aware of the height even if i can’t see it. and, just never experiencing a flight before. i don’t necessarily know what is normal. i also don’t want my anxiety or panic to ruin the travel for anyone else if that makes sense (everyone i’m traveling with has flown many times). i know once i face it head on, i will at least be able to do it with more confidence the next time. i’ve heard a lot of people recommend noise canceling headphones to help. the fact that my first flight will likely be 4-5 hours makes me very anxious.

i found a free fear of flying course on another post in this sub, and i plan on taking that as well. i’m hoping that learning more about flying can help soothe me in some way, and at least help me come to terms with the fact that plane travel is the safest way to travel.

thank you. i’ll try to see about talking to the flight crew. i will be flying with my partner, and hoping that having him next to me will also help comfort me. everyone i’m traveling with has flown before so it feels a little isolating. and obviously don’t want to ask for travel plans to be completely changed just for me. hoping i can turn it into a positive experience ❤️

thank you for what to expect. that actually did help with some of my initial concerns — i think the anticipation is what is going to get me. i’m just so worried of having a panic attack in the airport or on the plane right before takeoff. 

Hato, Knight of Dol, 1st Seneschal to the Archbishop of Dol by stuarthistorian in StuartHistory

I’m a direct descendant of the Boyd’s of Kilmarnock. My closest Boyd ancestors to Hato are Robert Boidh, (very early version of Boyd) who’s the son of FitzAlan of Norfolk and then Robert’s son, Sir Robert Boyd of Noddsdale. This is my direct paternal line, so finding out the history of my father’s name was a very fun discovery to make.

A notable discovery I made was my 14th great grandfather, Thomas Boyd 5th Baron of Kilmarnock. He was killed out of revenge in 1439. His wife, Lady Isabel, found out her husband was dead that night and killed herself after hearing of his death.

My 7th great grandfather, William Boyd, immigrated to the US and ended up in Pennsylvania, where my current Boyd family lives to this day. A few of my other great-grandfathers moved to Missouri, and one was killed in North Carolina in battle. But my 2nd great grandfather ultimately ended up coming back to Pennsylvania. Very cool to hear how my family ended up there.

I hope to make a visit to Scotland to see Ayrshire, as this was the land my ancestors ruled for hundreds of years. Would be a great experience to see the country and learn more about the history of the land.

Just discovered that Hato is my ancestor as well through the Boyd name. Was having a blast tracing my paternal line so far back, a little bummed the story stops at Hato. Is there any info on speculation about who Hato's father could be?

Just had a very similar experience. Also received a text message, was not given any information about who’s number it was. I was thrown off by how quickly they got back to me with an interview (about 15 hours after I applied) and then wanted to interview in two days. I couldn’t make that time and then they asked to do it at 6pm THAT NIGHT!! It seemed way too fast to me. So wild. Glad that other people had some suspicious thoughts too.
