Bite the bullet and jump.

I wrote a long blog post about this called "Impossibility Space," if anyone is interested: https://www.sonyasupposedly.com/impossibility-space/

> There are social consequences to iconoclasm, regardless of whether challenging a given sanctified consensus turns out to be "correct" or "on the right side of history" in retrospect. You must be brave enough, foolhardy and cocky enough, to attempt the impossible — and you must endure the social cost — if you want to accomplish anything new. There's no other way to find out whether your idea will work, since you'll always be told that it won't.

This applies even if "something new" is just new for you, not new in general.
