How do you get over the thought of "I'm too scared to try and learn/do x because I'm going to be bad at it?"

@jorty you'll always be "bad" (a beginner) when you start. the trick is to stick at it.

like i was awful at skateboarding when i started, couldn't even stand on my deck, but now i use it as my preferred method of transport and have some basic tricks down - because I stuck at it.

@EliteKonataFan its funny that you mention skateboarding cause ive been meanin to try it for the last while x: also thank u for the help!!
@jorty yo skateboarding is great! lmk if you want some help getting a deck or just some beginner tips. it's also super fun customising your deck (I rec stickers for the bottom, and paint pens for the grip tape)
