Just Began Knitting

I recently started knitting and I am so embarrassed about it. I thought I'd be making cute scarves for everyone, but turns out my first project is a disorganized ball of yarn that looks like a hedgehog exploded on the floor. Now, every time I pick up those needles, I feel this intense pressure to make something perfect because if I don't, what will people think? Am I just a failure with knitting sticks or can anyone be bad at it too? Have you ever tried a new hobby and felt like you're terrible at it from the start? Let me know in the comments!
