Is My Driving Anxiety Inherited or Learned?

I’m 20 and honestly, driving terrifies me. My dad could only drive comfortably if he wasn’t sober, and my grandma never drove at all. It makes me wonder—did I inherit this fear, or did I just pick it up from my family’s habits? I know anxiety can run in families, but is driving anxiety passed down too? What’s helped me is taking small steps, like just sitting in the car or driving around the block. If you’ve felt this way, how did you cope?
