You're not riding hard enough trails.

Welcome to the trails! Totally normal to be a little intimidated...I've been in the emergency room far more times for mountain biking than for road biking. It's totally worth it though.
Like Craigx3 said, your best bet is to go to your shop and play with the bikes, see which one calls to you.
