Is this me or is it just the general public?

Any ideas? I hope this doesn't sound stupid but just my impression
the since passing my checkride.

Some people just have an innate fear of getting in a small tin can with
wobbly wings - especially with a newly minted pilot at the controls.

In my experience, the only thing you can do is be yourself and don't expect
others to change. Don't push it and try not to belittle them for their
"irrational" fears. Some people may eventually decide to try it after
regularly hearing how excited you are about it and seeing that you actually
come home after every flight. Others will never do so.
