Yeah, I find driving and owning a vehicle to be a burden. I think it also encourages bad perceptions of others because we are all in each others way on the roads and because everyone is in separate bubbles. You experience other drivers as both threats/problems and as not real people, unless you stop next to each other and chat through the windows.
Compare the way you encounter fellow drivers on the road with fellow cyclists or passengers on a train or bus. It’s less real - everyone just stewing in their own jar.
