if you have anxiety, do you prefer to drive faster? ik some people walk faster bc of anxiety but i was wondering if that translates to driving for other people, too and before anyone says anything, i’m not a reckless driver and i don’t tailgate

I think 5-10 over is the norm for everyone, not fast

I keep with traffic but usually a bit more on the slower side of everyone else. Most folks go over the limit, so I keep with, but not as fast as most of them, so I may still be 5-10 over.

I have anxiety in the OCD way. I drive normal speeds with the flow of traffic. My friend has the impatient anxiety where they will go insanely fast and switch lanes if they even think of the person in front of them going a tiny bit slower than the other lane. it freaks me out so bad

Because of my anxiety I tend to drive the speed limit or slightly slower 😭 I’m always super overly careful when I drive

In town I drive at or 5 above, on the highway it’s reckless driving and I’m getting a point on my license if (when) I get pulled over

I have gone 50 over the limit before when I'm especially in a shitty anxious headspace

Yeah and I don’t wanna get tail gated. If they ride my ass and I’m doing 8 over, I’m dropping down to the speed limit 😭
