London tubes AIBU?

I’m really nervous to get on a tube tomorrow, it’s only one tube and about 5 stops- but it’s my first time doing it alone and it’ll take about 15 minutes. I’m generally scared something will go wrong and I worry about security threats in London.

anyone do it regularly? My husband says IBU and lots of people do it everyday with no issues.

ugh 😭

From where to where? Sorry you are feeling anxious but it is a normal thing that thousands of people do each day. I’m not diminishing your anxiety but it is good to anchor your fear in the fact that it’s a really normal activity. What are you worried about exactly?

I guess things are often scary when it's the first time and such a big place

But it's fairly easy to work out. I'm sure you'll be ok once you get going. You'll get the hang of it. And if you're having trouble, ask someone

It’ll be fine. What security threats are you worried about?

You will be fine. :)
