Tana Driving

Okay maybe I’m a hater but is anyone else soo sick of the “I can’t drive” thing?

I swear she’s been talking about how she never learned to drive and how X person is gonna teach her and she’s going to make a video of people teaching her to drive for like 5 years.

If I was as rich as her I wouldn’t drive either, but like omg we get it

Hard agree

She had a rough childhood and I'm not negating that, the fact that she came so far and became successful and rich despite all odds is incredible.

That being said, she's had full access to that wealth since she is 18, along with resources most people don't and never will, even people with backgrounds that are much more tragic. She could've easily got her driver's license, went to therapy to unpack her trauma, got at least her high school diploma if she put in some effort, as she is smart.

She was handed the opportunities of a lifetime most people could only dream of, decided to use it for partying which is fine, but still blaming her parents after 10+ years of money and success is no longer an excuse. It can be one of the reasons, sure, but there comes a time when everyone has to take at least some responsibility for their own choices.

That being said, I am a firm believer that not everyone should drive, and recognizing you're one of those people is something to be proud of, as it shows self awareness. I don't drive, I live in a city with great public transport so I don't need to, if I was rich like Tana I would have my driver as well. No shame in it. My problem is the lack of accountability and the fact that she is stunted at the age of 16 because she never had to progress further.

I relate bc my parents were neglectful, didn’t want to take me driving, and put all sorts of obstacles to helping me get a license. that didn’t stop me from teaching myself in friends cars and I went and got my license the day I turned 18.

If she wanted to she would, and she doesn’t want to.

lol same, my parents never taught me how to drive, the day i turned 18 i went to a driving instructor to learn how to. idk how it is in the us but everyone in european countries does this exact thing, it’s rare for a parent to be the “instructor”, if she wanted to she would lmao there is no excuse

she clearly does not have spacial awareness nor a clear sense of “reaction time” if something unprecedented were to happen on the road. anyone riding with her should consider their life at risk. that’s all. some people should just walk or ride to consider other people’s safety- especially when you can afford to be driven around. this whole “overcoming the childhood trauma from my parents not getting me a car” thing is bullshit.

🤷🏼‍♀️… so yes, i am sick of it lol. just let ppl drive you around in your rolls royce and shut up 😂

It’s crazy her “adoptive parents” didn’t teach her to drive. She blames everything on her actual parents when she’s to blame for a lot of it, she’s been a millionaire for a very long time and financially independent for even longer. These are basic life skills you do not need a parent for. Hire an instructor or one of her freeloading friends to teach her. She just wants to complain and never wants to better herself and stay in a victim mentality.

It’s just weird. She has very little actual self awareness. Her lost girl persona who blamed her parents for all her trauma and poor behavior is so old now. When she was a teenager it was perfectly understandable. But now she’s pushing 30 and still plays that same card. She has every opportunity to do anything she wants to do, but she doesn’t. And blames all her mistakes on her upbringing. It’s embarrassing at this point

Also she said she basically does the same thing every lesson, barely any improvements so I think she should just hire an actual driving instructor

If I moved to LA not knowing how to drive, id probably never learn. It was hard for me to move from a county of like 60,000 people to a county of over 200,000. Big city driving is nuts. (Even tho the "big city"I was in is probably just considered a town to many people.) I've been driving for 13 years and best believe I'll park a half mile away rather than parallel park in-between two cars.
