Beginnings feel different when nobody nearby remembers your earlier attempts.

Starting among strangers removes an audience you did not choose. Where people remember the last time, every new attempt gets measured against a history that arrives before you do, and the freedom of an unfamiliar room is mostly the absence of that record. It can be a genuine relief, and it can also mean nobody knows how far you have already come. Anonymity gives and takes.

If you are beginning something where you are known, tell one person this attempt is separate from the earlier ones. Somewhere new, notice the lightness and use it while it lasts.
