I don't mind taking time to figure out other ways of tackling a single move that would be easy if I was stronger or had longer arms, but a long overhang without lots of footholds will always defeat me. Pull up strength is one of the very few standard gym exercises that's transferable to climbing and is worth improving.

I also second what everyone says and just enjoy it, the walls should be graded to show the difficulty level so just start nice and easy ☺️ try and climb back down rather than jumping down if you get stuck at all (easier said than done sometimes 😂)
