So you take time to learn things and you aid people in goals. That takes lots of caring. In overcoming, you're elevating your understanding of things within and outside you. That's a lot of nice things at once. Courageous is just one of them.
You're a car dude, I don't understand you guys, your engineering specialty is beyond me. Your loved one is very lucky to have you help them with their car. Electricity is not my specialty either, but I remember enjoying seeing electricity experiments in the past. If I could figure either out I think they'd be much more interesting to me. It's cool that you're hiring yourself for the job of fixing up a car and garage lights.
I share those fears too. I hope I overcome them. For the first time in a while, I've been trying to take steps to get dental work done as well. I think it's been around half a decade. Failing is part of life, a part of pretty much all progress, I'm trying to accept that. We're people, not an automatically readily perfected machine(except for times when we are, but that also usually takes failure first.) I should remind myself that I have a lot to overcome and being erroneous is usually just fine for a learner. Socially, giving myself this understanding is how I try to give myself grace with awkward and embarrassing mistakes. I was not given the tools to smoothly socialize and now I must overcome not starting with many tools. You have ambition to connect with things, yourself, and others. At your slowest times, this is all getting you places no matter how much progress pauses for a while.
