About to join a gym for the first time: Any tips?

Hey everyone!

I'm 23 M, 63 KG weight, 181 cm height and I'm about to join a gym for the first time in my life next week. Although I'm eager for this, I'm also a bit afraid if other gym bros would mock me for doing stuff wrongly...

A bit about myself:

I'm a big introvert, a vegetarian (would eat egg) and an overthinker (reason for me writing this post). I'm very skinny (you can even see and count my ribs) and probably weak. I can't even do one pushup correctly. The max dumbbell weight I can lift for 10 reps is 5 kg in each hand

Since I've never ever touched a gym equipment in my life, I'm worried if I would do things wrongly or hurt myself and get made fun of by other people in the gym. The gym owner asked me if I have experience using the gym machines and if not she said she can arrange for a trainer but that would cost extra. Because of the cost, I have decided not and go through with only normal gym fees. Is this a mistake? should I need a trainer? Or can I just watch YouTube and learn how to operate the machines properly and on what workouts I should do?

Sorry for yapping too much
