Good morning ☀️ Even on the days you feel lost, tired, or unnoticed… remember this: you are not alone. Someone out there understands your struggle, and brighter days are still finding their way to you.
Share your #myrationalfear to make tanglers fear for their life: to #earn My Biggest Rational Fear is... a Road Trip.
It isn't one simple thing; it's the terrifying combination of fears that happen when I travel.
At its core, it’s a rational fear of the 'ripple effect' —the fact that my safety on the road depends entirely on the decisions of strangers. One person checking a text, one bad move, and everything changes.
This rational fear then gets amplified by my other phobias. Every tunnel becomes a trap (thanks, claustrophobia ), and every mountain highway or bridge becomes a terrifying drop (hello, acrophobia ).
It's a fear that's genuinely terrifying because the danger is real, and I have zero control over the biggest risk: other people. 👻
It's easy to feel isolated in this fear, but the truth is I'm not. With nearly 80% of drivers admitting to 'accident anxiety' and millions more sharing my fear of heights and enclosed spaces, it turns out I'm just in the part of the Venn diagram where all those common fears meet. And statistically, that's a very crowded place to be. So if you're one of the millions who hate heights, one of the millions who hate tunnels, or one of the vast majority who rationally fear other drivers—you are not alone. I'm right there with you. 👻 #YouAreNotAlone
