No one is going to notice you or say anything to you unless you look like you want some help (form check / spot).

Or if you are doing something that is about to put you or someone else in a wheel chair

yeah i know because i put myself in their shoes, and i think: "if i was them, i wouldn't say shit to me either"
but it still gives me anxiety for some reason and makes me feel real uncomfortable.

Does your gym offer any free training sessions since you're a new member? Could look into that. Having some idea of what you're doing will help your confidence.

Nobody gives a fuck bro you just need to do you. Everyone in the gym knows that everyone starts somewhere. If anything you can ask them to help you and you'll see how friendly they are (As long as they're not doing anything at the moment) and I'm very confident anyone there would be willing to help you with an exercise.

If the bar is wobbly, take some weight off and work your way up slowly. Focus on balancing the bar and your hand position. You could be having one hand overcompensating for the other by where your hands are placed.

Nobody who is strong or big has time to worry about noob gainers at the gym.
