Can't speak for people who fly big jets, but as somebody who flies little aeroplanes - yes.

Or at least I have been known in adverse conditions to get moderately stressed before and during a landing. Alternatively if I feel like that before a take-off, I generally don't bother and go away and think about what's worrying me. (Except of-course before a test, in which case everybody's nervous before take-off except the examiner).

As a wise man once said - take-offs are always optional, landings are usually mandatory.
