I was laughing and nodding along with your intro. I always get super paranoid just after the safety instructions. I find it very hard to pay attention to them but (every time) as they wind up, I realize I wouldn't know what to do in an emergency. The panic lasts for a whole minute. Then I go back to reading or the in-flight entertainment. Great piece Ian. I was laughing and nodding along with your intro. I always get super paranoid just after the safety instructions.

I'm also super afraid of flying, and I feel like nobody takes me seriously because I'm always flying. What they don't understand is that I spend such a large portion of my life in a perpetual state of panic thanks to this contradiction. I also think it's interesting what Katie says in the comments, because I remember being completely unafraid of flying most of my life up until a few years ago, and I've often wondered if there was some connection to other psychological factors. Or, it could be that domestic flight in Africa. Either way, this article was very reassuring! Love this article, Ian!
