Not necessarily. I came up during the static line era, and after a bad jump on my second, I was utterly practically vomitingly terrified on the next few. For me, it took making my first freefall — it was like a key had turned, and the door was opened.
Maybe make a jump with no real goals other than feeling like you’re the one in control. With no new skills, the only new skill being mastering how you feel on the way out. Talk to an instructor and feel free to be honest about why you want to do this — you’re not the first person like you. Honest
Then, if you decide skydiving isn’t for you, it’s a decision, and not something you were forced into
