More specifically, the fear of turbulence when flying.
You know, you're on the plane and suddenly the plane drops a bit then goes up high again and then drops a bit.....almost like a rollercoaster, your palms start dripping with cold sweat, your heart feels weak.....
How do you guys overcome this or make yourself feel better? One method which I'm using is to watch anime on my phone throughout the flight. It doesn't cure the fear but distracts my mind and makes me feel 30 - 40% better.
I found that if I can stand instead of sit, for some reason, it doesn't feel scary. Maybe it's because there's a sense of more control when you're standing? With sitting and that stupid seatbelt, it feels you're completely helpless and can't do anything. Something like chaining you to a chair and then pushing that chair into a lava pit lol
