Getting new equipment and learning to use it takes time

I do love getting new devices that help improve life or change the way I can do things. It however; takes me double to triple the time to get this accomplished as a person without the need for repeating the process. For example) I also got a rice cooker for Christmas. I tried to use it one time but it is difficult for me to do it. I am waiting to test it out with a friend who can show me how to use it as she has one. I also got a Belkin connector for my Ipod to connect with my car. This took through October of that year; 10 months for me to feel comfortable to try to attempt to hook it up in my car. I love it now and use it all the time in the car. However; the initial start to use it took some time and it makes it very hard for me to feel comfortable. 

Advice;

Do as I do; take your time and ensure that you feel comfortable using the newly purchased product. It takes time. It will take a lot longer than you think. It will be ok. You will get it eventually.  I have always waited to have someone else provide the example of how to do it. It is very hard for me to do certain things and feel comfortable within that process. An example of watching others do things is the best way for me to do things. I also need a team around me to complete and feel comfortable using the product and that those around will not judge or make fun of me.
