There are at least 5k+ flights in the air while typing this and they all made to safely to their destinations.

If you're scared of flying it's not about flying. It's because you have other problems in your life. Buy me a ticket and I will fly with you. You're not alone.

The odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 188,364. The odds of dying in a car accident are 1 in 103. Fear not.You're much safer in the air.

It's not the flying that scares me, it's clusterphobia 30k ft high.

A pilot was asked about fear of safety during flights. He responded, only scary part is when he rides/drives to the airport...

I used to have a real phobia of flying. But one day I was diagnosed with cancer. The treatment took a long time. I went through all the circles of hell - chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. Plus a lot of tests. Plus, I saw that the patients with whom I was in the same ward were dying, and new ones were taking their place. This is common in this type of hospital. Then I saw the real fear of death. I couldn't sleep or eat for almost a year. Now I know for sure that an airplane is just a transport and there is no need to be afraid of it.

If they showed every car crash that happened, you wouldn't go out in a car, but one plane crash every few years and people are going crazy about flying.

Fly often as possible an sit everytime at the window and look out. Do this 10 times in a row and you will never be scared of flying ever again. It is simple as that. (Of course, enduring the fear during the first flights is not "simple"). Techniques to prevent or avoiding the fear will make it only worse and is just a cash-cow for therapists.

I have that

Also remember, even if something goes wrong. Pilots are trained to deal with the situations

I'm not scared of flying, I'm scared of crashing

I am not afraid of flying. No one really is. They are afraid of being stuck in a small space they cannot escape, where they have no authority or power to alter the situation should something go wrong while maximizing the potential for catastrophic disaster.

I have fear of flying. My fear started suddenly I do not even know what had provoked it. When I was younger I used to invent excuses to avoid business trips as they involved flying. However, one day I was offered a position that I knew would involve lots of trips. I hated my desk job so I said yes. I had to overcome my fear going through a literal torture every flight. I have developed a set of coping mechanisms while dealing with this stress like some rituals I performed before every flight but mostly I educated myself on planes and air crashes and why they happened. Little by little I have accepted that a crash is a statistical anomaly and if it happens it's something I am destined for. It took me a year of frequent flying like multiple times every week to get accustomed to this and it was hard. However, it was worth it. I now have some anxiety around take off, flying in stormy weather and such but I do enjoy most of it. As I love traveling I am happy that I can go on enjoying my life without the fear. I was not an extreme case bit it did affect my life so to those who feel like me please do not stop flying and seeing new things even if it scares you, you are stronger than you think and it's just in your head.

Thank all of you for your comments, well expect for a cople not serious ones, but to everyone else, thank you <3 I'm flying on the upcoming monday morning, from Norway to Cyprus. I feel a anxious, I don’t really like staying away from home although I love being on vacation. I don’t know why I am so afraid of flying, but I am. I got some benzodiazepine from my doctor and hope it will give me the courage to see this through! Good luck to all of you fellow nervous travelers with anxiety!

Hello!

Helpful video but you can’t read the captions. Please move them slightly higher on the screen. For example , I make out EMDR as it isn’t legible. Still, thanks for mentioning it. I looked it up on account of your video. Thanks for sharing.
