Being bad at something new in front of people is embarrassing for a month and useful forever.

Learning in public means being visibly worse than everyone else for a while, and that is the actual price of entry. The embarrassment is brief and the competence is permanent, though the embarrassment comes first, which is why most people pay a different price and stay where they are. Nobody watching is keeping records. They are mainly thinking about themselves.

Give yourself a fixed period of being bad at it, a month rather than an open ended stretch. Go often enough that you become familiar instead of new. Those awkward weeks are the whole toll, and they do end.
