I had trouble getting counter-steering through my head as well until I watched one of those YouTube videos on it and could “see” the counter-steer in action.
It’s almost as if you are doing a “mini-swing-out” to initiate the lean. Pushing your front wheel ever so slightly the opposite way for a split second while leaning/accelerating into the turn allows you to make a better leaning turn if that makes sense?
As for the previous points of your post. It’s like trying to take a piss test with someone staring at your stuff. It’s just difficult to do.
The more confidence you gain, the less that will bother you. Don’t let anyone push you farther than you want to go, just wave them by or pull into a 7-11 and let them go by.
