Not working for many years has caused me social anxiety problems but also I have an overbearing mother who doesn’t want me to be independent. I need to learn how to drive I have my permit the drivers school gives you six hours on the wheel training and you can go to the DMV to get your license. My aunt said I can borrow her car for work. My mother complains that I can’t drive and the word can’t is what is stopping me from driving. I know I can learn to drive but to drive alone by myself is what scares me because of my mother not supportive but is the negative attitude and words that have affected me my whole life. I need to start driving to work.earlier because they are changing my hours to an hour early. The bus are not working during those hours.can I ask anyone how long it took you to get a driver’s license. Any positive will help me. Thank you and God Bless
 
You can do it. Are you an adult? If you are, your decisions are yours.
 
How long it takes to get your driving license depends on where you live. I’m sure you can figure out something. I’ll say a prayer for you God Bless.
 
Perhaps get professional driving instruction ,take your time to become familiar 🙂 Any friends with acreage,where you could become familiar with a vehicle?
(teaching my youngest to drive at the moment ,he’s come along so quickly in one week…in the beginning he thought the same as you,many people do)

Thank you for the advice. I know I can get my driver’s license it’s driving alone with a big van that is the only car we have. I don’t know if I can drive it by myself. I just need more positive stories of driving. Thank you. God Bless.
 
I have a question concerning my team leader at work. It’s about my name. Say my name is “Danielle” and I told him my name is"Danielle" I never said my name is anything else so he starts calling me " Dani" I never told him to call me that name. Only my friends and family members can call me by that name. He doesn’t call any of the other girls by their shorten name. I never heard him call them that. I don’t understand why all of a sudden he calls me that name the other people call me “Danielle”. I don’t understand guys, the polite way would be you don’t mind if I call you “Dani” I would have said no. I don’t get it him. I first meet him he shook my hand and I remember telling him my name is “Danielle” not “Dani”. Why do people feel like shorten you name for? Who told him to call me that? I need advice.
 
Tell them with a smile that Danielle is your name. Don’t complicate it or stress over it. Have you considered counseling to boost your self-confidence and morale? If you are under 18, this all will pass quicker than you think. If you are over 18, then get two jobs, three jobs - whatever it takes to be independent. Save your sanity!
 
I am one of six kids. I learned to drive in a 12-seat van. I parallel parked it for my driving exam. I have since driven a small moving van. You got this.
