For me, when I hitchhiked, the most nerve-wracking part was when I was sticking my thumb out. When I actually got in the car, I felt totally calm and okay. I think it's just the idea that you don't know who will pick you up --- but you choose which car to get into.
I also carried a canister of MACE in my pocket.
QUIT YOUR JOB AND TRAVEL
It'll open doors you didn't know existed......
