I definitely relate to this but frequently challenge myself and then overcome it. You just have to bite the bullet and carve out some time to try them out.
The key thing to understand is that all these things are shrouded in incomprehensible jargon and alien sounding names that make it incredibly intimidating to get started. But the fact is, it is a wide but shallow pool of jargon sitting on top of the same old computing fundamentals that have been around since the 1970s.
You will find if you know your fundamentals, then the jargon is far less difficult to overcome than it seems. You just need a bit of exposure and if you spend any amount of time playing with the tech it just starts to happen by osmosis. (If there are fundamentals you aren't solid on, treat it as an opportunity to bed that in - even these things are not generally super complex in the end).
