This is one thing that I don't think I've seen on the board, but do you all ever feel anxious when you drive? alot of times I feel like I'm competing almost, like people are trying to seem better than me (I realize how stupid this sounds, I've never actually written this down before).
But yet instead of exhibiting the normal effects of my anxiety that i usually put out like blushing, sweating, inability to concentrate, etc, i just get angry since i feel like i'm in my little bubble where no one can see me, my car. this of course leads to--> severe road rage!
I'm always afraid I'm going to do something stupid on the road.
Also, i don't really fear it like social situations, more it takes alot out of me bacause i feel like i have to hold my own, not like being an aggressive driver (which everyone ultimately has to do to get where they want to go) but more hold my own socially.
