IMO one of the super important things is not struggling with your feelings. Feeling inadequate is a natural process in sucking. It's a self-defense thing to keep your standing in the socially competitive atmosphere of human social dynamics. It's telling you that you look silly and you're taking a risk in doing this.

And that's okay! It's part of it. Comfort yourself with other things while you do the difficult thing of leaning new skills. That's sort of the whole process of self improvement.

well yes, but that's rather the point: I know that it's normal to feel inadequate, but that doesn't make it feel any less terrible.
