Overwatch did a pretty good job <| sep |> I destroyed one of my parents ' vehicles when I was 17 . Similar situation , icy road , except I did flip . Had two friends with me . Went into the only ditch in the area that didn ' t contain a concrete culvert . Nobody was hurt not a scratch . My parents weren ' t even angry . My dad was disappointed by how I reacted because I lost my cool , and I have no doubt they were upset about the loss of a vehicle , the insurance implications , and the cost . But they didn ' t lose their son . Learn from it , don ' t beat yourself up , people make mistakes and shit happens . What ' s important is that you ' re ok . <| sep |> It just takes practice , my family are the stereotypical scary Eastern Europeans , I learned to relax it when I worked retail and can put it on and off now .
