I would be scared if you exuded confidence. From my own experience, take effective notes, don't finish people's sentences whilst they are explaining things to you, even if you already know the answers. It's a new stack, so you can hopefully make use of your previous experiences to help you find similarities and differences, to help guide you on what topics you should concentrate. Ask questions, and don't be dissuaded if you receive unhelpful comments or remarks; keep asking, and keep making effective notes... Recognise, if you can, the signs that alert you to mounting pressure, and to the associated anxiety.

Seek out and identify supportive, helpful people and teams; don't ignore those who appear less helpful because you may not be aware of their anxieties or the pressures they are experiencing. Don't align yourself too closely with any extreme, but listen to everyone. Find mentors, but don't make mentoring a one-sided affair. Most people have something to offer, even if it's not immediately obvious. And keep learning :-) And address the issues you are experiencing, as difficult as that may sound.
