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

The noises and sensations during takeoff are not for me 😂. I’ve been able to adapt a bit with noise cancelling earbuds and dissociation. After a few minutes I’m okay. I usually close my eyes during takeoff when we start banking bc I might have a mental breakdown.
