How to handle people who make you feel bad; guilt you because you can't do something

A viewer commented that people give her a hard time; guilt her about not learning to drive. She is 27. Whatever you do, don't engage in a conversation with these so called friends for family members who are guilting you. You will just come across as defensive. Instead, give them a big fat fake smile and look at them like they are crazy. That puts the negative attention on them, not you. And also, take steps to learn to drive. See a really good therapist. This is an anxiety problem. You don't have to pressure yourself to learn to drive tomorrow, but start now to make that your ultimate goal. You will feel great about yourself that you have accomplished this and it is your final step towards complete independence.
