Newbie looking for help with DnD

Heyo! I've reached a point where video game rpg's are no longer fufliling my need to roleplay so I want to branch into DnD. My main problem is that I am painfully shy with new people, especially when I don't fully understand the game mechanics etc. I am asking if anyone would like to help me get used to the game/ maybe help me feel comfortable with playing a beginner game? Thanks for reading ik I sound a little hesitent but I've loved the game from the Hero's and Halfwits show and really want to 'git gud' at roleplaying in a group =^.^=

Gdi forgot to post timezone: GMT, available evenings due to school/work schedule

Do you have discord? If so add me Legende The Honorable#8694

Hi  Eliza , I'm ok GMT too. (Live in the UK) and I DM a game on Thursday evenings. It's all 'text only'. We use all the maps, tokens, dice etc, but there is no video or voice chat. The reason for me, is that while I love DMing, I feel too silly doing different voices for NPC's :) - I also have a 2 year-old I'm fearful of waking up in the evenings. - If you think a 'text only' approach might work for you, especially if you're a little shy, let me know! I would love to run you through a few encounters, for you to test things out, etc, and then possibly, if you're up for it, invite you to a longer-term game! Let me know!
