I've just arrived home from a short holiday to Portugal. I've not been on holiday for nearly 10 years so I have been in a near panic attack state for about a month.
Proud I did it, but my god was it hard to make myself live through the flights each way. I find being in confined spaces, with loads of strangers, limited toilet access, and random goings on, really anxiety inducing.
Id love to open up more and be able to travel, for my family as much as myself.
Anyone else feel the same about flying? How do you manage it?
What puts me off flying is the hassle of airport security, otherwise I love flying (preferably in first class or business class) - frankly, we autistics should get free upgrades to first class - I was always big into flying and aviation and a few years ago, having not been able to become a pilot, I tried to become cabin crew without success, applying to several airlines around the world despite being in the supermarkets at the time, long before my diagnosis - many who follow leftist ideologies thought that my dreams and ambitions were unrealistic, because they seek to hold people back and keep people down, a key part of all leftist/communist ideologies, which is why they pushed me towards an autism diagnosis because they thought that I was too vocal and too opinionated in an effort to silence me and shut me up, being the butt of their jokes - it’s one reason why I totally despise and hate leftism in general, because it ignores and dismisses merit
