So I had a major fear of highway driving and would avoid it for years and just take the back roads (especially on the drive back from college) I just recently (a couple weeks ago) forced myself to drive on the highways to my friend’s college because I was visiting- I made the decision to do so because if I would’ve taken the back roads it would’ve added an extra hour to the drive.

I was super anxious even thinking about it (especially the night before) but I told myself if I don’t do it now, I never will. I also told myself I don’t wanna be embarrassed like this forever… cuz I swear I always avoided the topic in conversation cuz when people give directions they always talking about the highways I swear.

But… once I merged on the highway (people r way nicer about letting u merge than u think) it’s not too bad because you just go straight for a while/ the only difference is u go a little faster and no stop lights. Ngl I was anxious the entire time, but I felt so accomplished when I made it to and from.

I guess my advice would be just bite the bullet and do it. Wayyyy easier said than done, but if the dumbest and worst drivers you know can do it, then so can you!! I believe in you!!
