A while ago I tweeted about how stressful and how bad I was in my driving lessons. Guess what? I decided to go to a different teacher and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ’„" title="Collision symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Collision symbol">, everything clicked.

We’re having fun, he’s a phenom teacher and I’m looking forward to every new https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚗" title="Automobile" aria-label="Emoji: Automobile"> lesson. That wasn’t the case before.
In this thread I will explain what happened and what I learned from this. Buckle up.
So with the previous teacher everything was so complicated, he by the way he behaved made me feel super bad about myself until I stopped him from doing that. He was toxic, with every mistake, he shouted, he didn’t want to explain something more than once. I was like: WTF?
The situation inside the car was everything but calm. I was able to keep my calm and at a certain point with my behavior to make him stop shouting.

After every lesson my brain was a mush. I wasn’t looking forward for a next one.
Side note: Many things inside the car didn’t work properly. I pointed that out and he dismissed my concerns like I don’t know what I’m talking about. As it turned out: I was right.
Anyway, I managed to deal with this bs for 8 lessons. After that I was so done with him and his behavior. I decided to change teachers and go with someone who can empathize with a newbie driver.

I was so traumatized by that experienceI was so scared to even start the engine.
Despite that, in the first few minutes with my new teacher I was able to let go and realize that it’s not that hard after all.

The lesson was smooth, learned a ton, made 0 mistakes (not that this is a problem, I’m still learning) and had fun.
As I look back I made a series of mistakes. I needed to put my first teacher to his place and “demand” from him a decent behavior towards me sooner than I did.

Another one was that I needed to change teachers sooner than I did.

I grew a lot from this experience.
