I'll give the same advice I give on everything:

"In 6 months, will taking this action still have a major effect on your life?"

So, in 6 months, will a "no" change your life in a meaningful way from what it is today? If the answer is no, let that sink in.

Once you can logically define what's "impactful", it makes it a whole lot easier to do those things that seem scary in the moment. And once you do those things aleven a few times, they get easier and easier.
