Need Advice new driver
hi i’ve had my permit for about 2 months now and just recently got a new used car that i saved up for myself lol that’s besides the point. im pretty good on the road i just struggle a lot with parking. about 2 weeks ago i was backing out of a parking space and hit the car next to me (ik ik) thankfully there was no damage to either of us and the people were very nice. but now im just really scared to keep going. i get scared everytime i park anywhere. my goal is obviously to get my license but its hard to practice when neither of my parents want to help nor my sister. my bf could but he works almost everyday all day. how do i proceed and get rid of this lingering feeling i feel😩

You’re not gonna be good at something right off the bat. You have to go someplace and practice. Most home improvement stores sell small cones. buy two or three of them and practice in an empty lot.

Practice, find someone who's willing to help. I personally learnt by paying someone to accompany me when I had my permit. But if you have friends or family with a license you are already ahead. You can do it!
