There is a presumption in NT skill acquisition that goes like this:
It's OK to not be good at things for a while. Everyone fails a lot at the beginning. It's how you learn. Give yourself some grace and keep practicing.
After enough of practicing and learning, you'll get enough skill to enjoy the activity you're trying to learn.
remains true for people with Spiky Skill Sets, and (especially for younger people with less overall life experience) is just as critical to remember. Unfortunately, 2. does not remain true. There will, almost by definition, be some activities that are on one of the "negative" spikes and won't be accessible to someone who has that particular negative spike.
The disconnect here regularly leads to conflict with NTs who confuse "unwilling to try activity X" with "afraid of failing at X in the early stages" (i.e., not recognizing the validity of point 1. above). The issue isn't being afraid of doing poorly at the start; it's one of never really being able to enjoy the activity at all, regardless of the effort put into it.
