Welcome to TAC, and welcome to the forum! I know what you mean about fingerpicking feeling like square one! I felt like once I could strum a few chords, picking individual strings felt like square one, now I’m going through the same with fingerstyle. I’ve come to realize that taking on new things that make you feel like that is a good feeling, or at least leads to a good feeling. One of the beautiful things about TAC is that it forces you to wander out of your comfort zone ( no matter how big or small) at least a couple times a week. It might be a new genre, a new tuning, a new technique, a key you’ve never played in, or a transition between two things you can do but never connected before. Every couple weeks you’ll be walking along in the borders of you comfort zone and realize how much bigger it’s gotten. You’ll find yourself paging through your bookmarks for that one song you couldn’t quite manage a month and a half ago and remember “Oh, I can do that slide now!” Or “I can play that barre chord now.”
Have fun and hang in there!
