IFR IMC scary?

Am I unnormal ?

I hold a fATPL, CPL, ME/IR, MCC.

I have flown very little in IMC. But I am now planning to do some more IFR training in a single engine. Before I did not have access to a good IFR plane nearby.

Of course I will take it in small steps and not start with IFR minimums.

But still I feel this kind of fear in IMC. Fear of what if hitting another aircraft in here.. or fear of accidently entering an active CB cloud and beeing lightning hit crashing to the ground.. or engine failure. Mostly I fear I cant see what I am entering. I could enter something really scary.

Is this a false fear due to lack of experience?? Should I start to fly and take things slow and then I will get more comfortable?

Thx!
