During VFR training you where always told to stay away from clouds and specially CB clouds they could kill you. Of course you should stay away from dangerous clouds. But all this have created some fear I guess.
When I fly with an instructor or examiner I feel perfectly relaxed in clouds because I trust the instructor. But when I am solo something happens inside me.
Suggestions?

the above was from another of your threads. I think it applies here as well. Preflight fear and flying do not go together in my opinion. Caution yes. Fear. NO.
you clearly have a limited grasp of MET
you have posted about your OCD
you instruct - is this still correct?
the way you write is alarming. Am I alone in thinking this way?
