I had the same feeling with the pic when I started 2 years ago. Fortunately I didn’t know how to fingerpick or strum with just my natural extensions so I struggled through. Over time you just get more comfortable with the pic. In the beginning I used a thin (o.46 mm) as this helped me to not scrape the strings so much. You might find it useful too, but don’t get hooked on them. You really need to move to stronger pics to play properly, the sooner you transition the easier it is. 1.2 mm is good but I’ll use the 0.96 mm most of the time.
When I’m doing the daily challenges I make a point of looking away from my picking hand as much as possible. Sure I’ll have to look to start off but I don’t let my gaze linger. You have to train your hand to find the strings without looking. The same goes for fingerpicking, the more you do it, the less mistakes you’ll make.
