I can't work out if you are trolling or just extremely misguided/ naive. The exuberant use of lingo could point to either.
Was I scared of VFR flying? No.
Did it take time to work out how to navigate? Yes. This is why we fly with instructors. To learn.
You don't want to call ATC if you get lost? Why not? The guy you referred to will have needed to do a lot more than just get lost in order to lose respect. If that's not the case, wherever you are flying sounds like a very up itself place, and I'd like to know where so I can avoid it.
If you get lost and need help, then ask for it. It will save someone a lot of money by not having to remove a hull, and potentially the bodies of you and your passengers from a field or whatever you hit after you run out of fuel.
Not greasing your landings? How strange. Whilst I appreciate your apparent desire to improve, you're a long way from greased landings. Just landing the right way up is a good start. Good landings need a 'feel' for the aircraft which you will just not have yet.
I think your attitude is a bit out of place. You seem to want to be perfect immediately. Aviation is not something which can be done that way. It takes time, skill, work, and patience. But I imagine you will work this out quite quickly.
