Are you afraid of flying by airplane?

No, flying is much, much safer than driving. Accidents are pretty rare. TBH I do get nervous about the landings anyway, but it's not enough to dissuade me from flying in the first place. But, what does terrify me is navigating airports. I'm afraid of not knowing what I'm supposed to do and getting embarrassed and worse, not making it to my terminal on time, missing my flight and having no idea what to do next and being embarrassed to ask and try to figure out how to do everything I'm supposed to do. This is only if I'm flying alone, of course. So, I don't fly alone. That's why I took my mom with me when I went to the Philippines to meet my then-g/f. I did fly alone back from Norway once from visiting my then-g/f who's Norwegian, and I flew alone to California and back to meet my first girlfriend, but I was more confident back then, being more naive about my limitations and thinking I should naturally be able to do anything normal people can do.
