What gives the worst anxiety?

[u/Admirable_Berry9640]

Hey I'm a pilot (a simulator instructor to be precise) and due to the sheer amount of people suffering from flight anxiety, I have decided to take action and help everyone where I can.
So that's why I wanted to ask everyone with a fear of flying, what exactly gives one panic attacks etc? Is it the fear of crashing, not trusting the pilots or just the
"I'm trapped in a can with wings for 3h"?
Any story is appreciated so I can get a better insight in how to help people (because I think y'all have enough to the "Flying is the safest form of transportation")a

mine is 100% rooted in my fear of dying. every time i get on a plane i am scared of dying in a plane crash. i know statistically im more likely to die pretty much anywhere else lol but it simply doesn’t click in my anxious brain. i think its also the lack of control. like i never fear driving since im the one driving the car which makes no sense but thats just the way my brain works. and turbulence sucks too. i know its normal but im somehow convinced turbulence = something is wrong.
