Reading the above it seems like you're combining the dislike/stress of learning to be competent at something (driving) with the dislike for a particular activity (driving).
Learning something isn't always fun, even if that something is something you may come to enjoy (or at least be indifferent about) once you gain a certain level of competency with it. If you never get past the learning discomfort it's hard to differentiate the dislike for the activity itself vs the frustrations of being a beginner.
- vanilla_nut 4y agoRespectfully disagreed. I've driven thousands of miles and hundreds or thousands of hours. In high school it was a requirement for living. But there's a big difference between being proficient and enjoying something. I got well past the "learning discomfort" and I still loathed driving. I choose to avoid driving every chance I can, even when it's cold, or rainy, or windy, or it'll take a long time to walk. Because I enjoy being outside and enjoying the world a lot more than being cooped up in a giant expensive metal box. Some people just prefer walking, biking, and public transit over driving. You almost sound like you're describing Stockholm Syndrome, learning to "enjoy" a task that is stressful and unpleasant that you're forced to do every day. I can't think of any activity I'm required to participate in by society that annoys me as much as driving everywhere.
