Does anyone have any tips for keeping going even when you're finding it hard to get started climbing?

I'd very much appreciate any tips at all.

For me, it's mostly been about community - I got into bouldering because I met a few people who liked it, got invited to their WhatsApp group, and have been hanging out with them in and outside of the gym for the past year. We all have bad days, weeks, setbacks, and such, but we're supporting eachother and motivating one another through them.

In my experience, asking others for help with a bouldering problem, regardless of gym or (European) country, usually leads to at least having a buddy for at least the evening! I'd imagine taking a beginner course has a similar effect.
