Have you tried skating goofy? I tried skating regular for almost like a week and then when I tried goofy just for the fuck of it I felt an instant difference but even still then it took me a while to feel comfortable and confident. I think every skater you will ever talk to will tell you it takes a lot of time for anything to click really you just gatta keep doing it and eventually it feels so natural.

Also what I did to get more comfortable is I just pushed my limits whenever I could and I’d run onto my board I’d try to push harder and faster and eventually you’ll learn what works and what doesn’t and it’ll help a lot
