Anyone else terrified of flying on planes?

[Micky Mikey]

I have a deep fear of flying and its ruining my life. I've had to fly in the past due to my job and it always feels like I'm preparing to die. The takeoff is the scariest part and I always have to close the window and pray. Its keeping me from doing things my life. I need to hit up Turkey for a hair transplant and go to Sosua to trick on big booty bbl Dominicans. How can I overcome this?

You should be.

ehh, not really. the most dangerous part of flying in 2024 is driving to the airport

2 weeks ago, my 8 and 10 yr old sons did better on their first flight than I did on my first flight which was back in 2008.

I also hate the speeding on the runway before takeoff. My sons just laughed.

Then, when the plane gets 20 ft off the ground, I'm like "please, no engine failure"


And don't even get me started on the turbulence. I could shyt bricks

That being said, I can't wait to fly to Vegas in March

I wanna book 4 or 5 days at the Wynn and hang out on the strip for March Madness betting

Fly more often.

You'll get used to it eventually. Used to bother me when I was a kid but after flying enough times I got over it. Still don't like flying but I will if need be.

I have a fear of heights but there's a better chance of me dying driving to work everyday than a plane crashing was the way I rationalized it.

2mg of lorazapam. You won't even care anymore.

 

[Micky Mikey]

Thanks. This helps. It still doesn't ease my fear of take off and landing though.

Went to 7 states since April. Flying felt more like an adventure than anything. It's a mental thing you have to work on breh. Have you seen a therapist maybe?

I’ll fly anywhere but my palms always get sweaty af at takeoff and landing
