So uhh this might sound odd to you guys but i do think driving through the hood often for my job helped my confidence a bit. Some of you here may know i deliver food for my main job around my city and often times i go into the poor parts.

As a once scrawny (now bulky) white guy i used to be pretty fearful driving through those parts before but since i been doing those so long.. i just don’t even think about it anymore. My fear has been virtually wiped out. I have zero issues even sometimes talking with folks in those areas. They’re just normal folks y know lol. And yeah i think doing this has helped me feel more confident in myself. by the way even at night i don’t get anxious or anything!

how are you when you drive through those areas in your city?
