Give yourself a break. Take it easy. I was scared out of my mind the first month or more on my bike. I did something really stupid and rode from Oregon to LA and on to Costa Rica for my first ride. Don't do shit like that. Give yourself quite a few nice, easy rides around the hood, like people suggested. Get used to your bike so you shift and signal on auto while watching the traffic. Rinse and repeat until comfortable. Then expand out into the city. Riding with others did not help me learn unless they watched me from behind doing turns etc. and told me I cross-sit. If you want to learn from my experience, I wrote a funny book about it. https://www.amazon.com/First-Ride-Alexander-H-Rosenberg-ebook/dp/B00758IPI4/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1493513025&sr=8-14&keywords=the+first+ride
