Hello lovely people,

I was wondering on how yall learned to drive. I have been struggling with it and been getting quite discouraged. It seems all so overwhelming. I also feel pressure since the car I drive was a gift from a family member that I don't wanna disappoint. Im 20 and I feel like if I don't learn this I'll never be able to get any further in life

My grandfather paid for lessons, I didn't learn until like, February of this year and I'm 22. Once I was behind the wheel it felt much more... natural(?). I'm terrified of driving, I absolutely hate being behind the wheel but since I'm starting college in a few weeks I kinda need to be able to drive the car to and fro.

It takes time, I suggest just driving around neighborhoods to begin with, doesn't have to be long drives. Even just swapping with the current driver to take the last mile or two home works; that's how I started. Plus, once you have your driver's license you don't have to renew it every six months!
