Just like flying you're experiencing life from a unique perspective that few ever will. There are those who fear flying, and those who crave the thrill of an unnecessary risk. You can live your life out in a one room flat and never leave; but you won't catch me doing that.
Flying is one the safest forms of travel, statistically. People who are afraid of flying, and yet will blithely get into an automobile, are either crazy or stupid.
OP, you're not crazy, people are just idiots. Ignore them and their ignorance.
