yeah, can't contain my jealously then. Every second of driving is hellish for me. I'm only just now realizing this isn't the case for most people, I thought everyone hated it except for a few who did it as a hobby. Also most people seem to have a much more intuitive sense of roads, locations, north and south, that kind of thing. They can just spit out a list of directions like "Take the 518 south and jump on 110th street then head east on 32nd" and that might as well be a mystic incantation to me. Like the other day my coworker asked me to point in the direction I live in while at work and I couldn't do it. I said like "How in the hell am I supposed to do that?" and I as we talked I realized that if it's within 50 or so miles, people just kind of know what direction things are in.
I feel for you, it must suck. The first... year or two of driving, I was extremely anxious about the whole thing. Not just navigation, but the driving itself, especially when I had to get around in unfamiliar vehicles. That really changed with practice over the years tho, I'm pretty relaxed behind the wheel now.
I also get nervous driving somewhere far away for the very first time, since the navigation part is a bit of an issue for me too. But when I remind myself that I have all the time I need and can, at any point, just pull over and look for the way, I can generally deal with it.
