That sounds joyful! I hope that goes well for you. :smallsmile:

Not your fault, not their fault. They won't be disappointed, and it's not shameful to ask for help.

Your avatars are excellent! I'm sure your art is just as good! :smallsmile:

I completely understand where you're coming from with this. Failure isn't fun. But not everything ends in failure, and not everything that fails wasn't worth the effort. And really, you'll end up feeling worse for not attempting things.
Being nervous behind the wheel is just a lack of experience, it will pass eventually. Driving is
really fun, and I'm certain you'd find the independence being able to drive brings self esteem building!
My experience of accidents (and these were all through inexperience and not driving sensibly - in a rush in rain; in snow; reversing round a blind corner I checked before but not during) thus far is that by the time you realise they're happening there's nothing you CAN do, and afterwards you've got plenty of time. If it helps, you can keep a checklist of what to do afterwards in the dash just in case. But really, if you drive sensibly and to the conditions driving is really very safe.

I do apologise. A lot. ._.
Sometimes I do. But I think a small part of them is still mad. And I don't isolate myself because they won't apologise. I isolate myself so I don't make them madder. If they forgive/apologise, then I can be sure they're not still mad.
And they probably think that you're still mad as well because you avoid them. Sometimes it's worth going on as if nothing happened, and sometimes you need to address what happened. But either way is better than avoiding someone you want to hang out with because 'they might still be mad.'
