If you care so much about whether others will laugh at you, it proves that you are not suitable for the gym. You should buy a pair of dumbbells to practice at home, because I can't guarantee that there are no idle people in the gym who like to laugh at others!
If you can't take a positive attitude and care about other people's eyes, you will be afraid to try unfamiliar equipment, which is often the most helpful!
Chat with others more, ask for advice modestly, and ask others for help when you can't. This is the attitude that everyone who goes to the gym should have, whether you are a beginner or sick.
