I wish people would stop with the car analogy

For someone like me, the “you’re safer in a plane than a car” doesn’t help me. It just makes me scared of cars. When people remind me that actually I’m consistently in danger every time I’m in a car, I’m just scared of cars AND planes. Also, I wish more people knew that logic rarely helps true phobias. Just a little rant 😵‍💫

EDIT: just a note that this post was for people who get that it’s annoying. If you like the analogy that’s awesome it works for you! (And yes, I’m medicated and have Ativan for flights, and I’ve been in exposure therapy and fly very often).
