Self Confidence Issues

Alright, so I’m a relativly new driver. But since I’ve got my driving license and supposed to drive on my own, I could never do this without being scared as hell. I simply didn’t trust my own ability to drive safely. My parents rly wanted me to keep driving so I could overcome my fear.
And I tried to do that.
But one night, after a long day spend with friends, I got to drive home a friend of mine. And on the highway, insecure how I am, I drove rly slow. Then I got into a situation after I merged onto a highway where I drove on the left lane. And another car came close up super quick. And started honking at me almost immediately. I was caught by surprise and didn’t want to slow him down. So I pulled the steering wheel to the right almost immediately as well. And had a glance to the right where drove after that. And saw a car, dodging to the right. I was SO scared I can’t even tell u.
Yea, I don’t want to tell any of my friends or family cuz I don’t want anyone to be scared of driving w me. But now I don’t even trust myself to drive safely and I don’t know how to overcome this. I’m just outright frightened to step into a car ever again. Like I can’t blame anyone but me for fcking up. I got lucky once. Now I don’t wanna challenge my luck. But I wanna overcome this fear of mine just as bad.
