I'm Thinking About Getting My Driver's License, But I've Always Been Afraid Of Driving. Since Fear Of

i'm thinking about getting my driver's license, but i've always been afraid of driving. since fear of driving seems to be something that neurotypicals also face, it's fairly difficult to find some good information for nd people. do you or others, by any chance, have some experiences with or tips for learning to drive?

anon, you have come to the right person! i’m nd af and just got my license last month! so when i first started driving i was really scared too (actually im still terrified of driving tbh lmao) but i learned how to drive doing these things:

find someone to teach you that you’re comfortable with whether that’s your parent or sibling or friend that’s eligible to teach you, you’re gonna want to try to remove all the extra anxiety you can from your car so you can focus on driving! if you’re comfortable with your teacher and they’re on the laid-back side it’ll make a world of difference

start small in an area with as few other cars as possible if you can find a big empty parking lot it can really help to start there so you can get used to working the car and parking and stuff. then when you’re comfortable driving the car itself, start driving on the most underpopulated roads you can find and then gradually work your way up to more populated and busy areas as you get more comfortable. if you’re near the countryside, country back-roads with no other cars around really helped me but if you’re in the city you could try driving around neighborhoods

practice practice practice whenever you’re able to! it really will make you a better driver and it will help you become less afraid. i’ve noticed that the longer i go without driving the more scared i get, but when i drive often it gets less scary

don’t let the assholes get you down there are a lot of jerks on the road when you’re driving sometimes and as an avpd person that can be really hard, just try not to focus on them and get away from them as soon as you’re able

remember that you’re not going to be an expert at first and you’re going to make mistakes that’s totally normal and ok, it takes time to learn to drive. i’ve actually been driving for four years but i didn’t feel comfortable enough to get my license until last month..just try to drive responsibly so you don’t put yourself or someone else in danger and if you’re having a bad mental health day and/or having a lot of emotions and distractions don’t drive that day.

ALSO if there are any driver’s ed classes or anything like that available to you, i’d highly recommend it. i wasn’t able to take one but my friends did and it made them really good drivers in a pretty short amount of time but you’ll still be fine if you’re unable to take one.

well that’s pretty much all i can think of at the moment, i hope this can help you! followers do you have any other tips you wanna share??

yo he’s going to be so fluent i can already tell

If you’re not amazed by the stars on a clear night then we won’t work.

pairing: taehyung x reader / word count: 13.3k / genre: fluff, friends to lovers, smut (NSFW, 18+)

summary: you’re used to being in love with taehyung. you’ve had a lot of time to get good at it, after all—by this point you’re the world’s expert at keeping your less-than-platonic feelings hidden from him, what with the amount of practice you’ve had.

but then he signs up for a massage therapy course, because apparently you can never catch a break.

or: the one where taehyung gives you a full body massage and then some.

warnings: sexually explicit content, massage with a happy ending (literally 🤧), cursing, edible massage oil/lube, fingering (f), unprotected sex (be safe when you have sex please), multiple orgasms (f), oral sex (m), cum swallowing, pet names, body worship?, brief mention of shower sex

a/n: I swear this was meant to be pwp. this was literally meant to just be pwp with some massage shenanigans. and then I blinked and it had become a soft 13k fic which honestly… kicked my ass quite a bit. but I hope you enjoy it!! thank you as always to @hobi-gif​ for beta reading this and encouraging me and putting up with me changing this multiple times, what would I do without your support miss hope?

Taehyung goes through a lot of different phases.

He just finds so many things interesting. Photography, art, art history, music, fashion, thrift shopping; heck, there was even the time he got weirdly into making tea and became some sort of connoisseur, going through the whole rigmarole of buying the loose leaves and weighing them out, checking the temperature of the water, brewing for a precisely measured amount of time.

You still remember the look on his face when you said it all tasted like hot leaf water to you.
