i constantly hear the "you should know how to drive manual what if it's an emergency and you can't drive a manual car" spiel but as someone who seriously struggles with multitasking and getting overwhelmed, i really don't think i'll be able to cope.

the most obvious answer is just try it and see but i want to know if anyone else was in this position and found it easier than expected? or if it is as hard as it looks.

the thought of driving already seems incredibly overwhelming, having to focus on so many variables at once, i just can't imagine having to worry about everything then have to make sure im in the right gear all the time!! also the horror stories i hear about using the clutch.

edit: thank you everyone for the input and advice.

i, 19f, originally wanted to just loose a bunch of weight, but i hit my gw and still wasn't happy and decided i want to tone up and grow a little muscle. i have been going to the gym, not very consistently, since february but im too scared to do anything but the treadmill and stairmaster.

i went to a cheaper commercial gym at first, but it was always so busy and i was too scared to even look around properly because there was just people everywhere. last week i signed up to a much smaller gym that's definitely not as busy, but also means all the equipment is closer together and can be seen more easily.(no hiding away in a corner)

im not even 100% sure what im so scared of, i guess i just dont want to look stupid and like i don't know what im doing, especially when everyone else looks like they do. i always struggle doing things for the first time alone, but i have no buddies or anyone to go to the gym with. i watch a bunch of tiktok and youtube videos on how to do certain exercises but once i get in the gym im just too scared to take up space and do them! it's really frustrating and im just wondering if anyone else felt this way? is the only way to get over this to just do it and potentially embarrass myself?? i feel pathetic for being so scared i guess i just need someone to tell me to grow up and snap out of it lol.

EDIT: any youtube or personal recommendations for a good beginner workout split? it's kind of overwhelming figuring out what to/ not to do and i feel like having a set plan will make it easier to get going.
