I've always wondering if I could fly like a bird, I could be very happy or if I have a super power i will choose the ability to fly.
But the fact is, I am so scared to fly.. OK, I am not scared riding a roller coaster or doing parasailing, I've done that before and I feel happy. But when it comes to fly with airplane, I am so nervous and scared especially when the plane take off. Maybe that is because I saw too many horrible airplane accident.
How do I overcome this feeling? I have to take another airplane trip next week and I already feel nervous now..

LOL - I'm afraid flying but also roller coasters and would never ever try parasailing :) I actually have a fear of heights :(
I have flown hundreds of times but it seems to never get any better - I am very happy and thankful when those wheels touch the ground. I have two theories on flying: "There's something not right about this huge hunk of metal being up in the air" and "if God wanted me to fly He would have given me wings" Neither of these works though so I have no sound reason for not flying - millions and millions of people fly daily and have no problems.

Hello there. Whenever I feel scared about something, I always tell myself FEAR is False Emotions Appearing Real. You are scared of flying because you choose to let yourself be scared. Focus on the positives. Do not always think of the negatives and scare yourself. Enjoy your plane trip. =D

Yes, I think I am thinking negatives about airplanes and scare myself. I am trying so hard to be positive while flying, anyway thanks for your response...
