Isn’t anxiety the primary problem? The obvious solution to make less mistakes is to gather data and figure stuff out, but you’re not asking about that. You’re not afraid of making mistakes. You’re afraid of people (including yourself) discovering your alleged incompetence. The obvious solution to that is to fix the anxiety problem. Yes, it might be hard and/or require external help, but you said it yourself :
I don’t currently work at a restaurant, so at the moment I’m afraid of nothing.
But for the purposes of the example, it’s not about discovering mistakes or incompetence—it’s about your level of incompetence being much greater than you previously estimated, for reasons you were unaware of prior to being exposed to those reasons.
