I want to learn scripting but I’m afraid of only being able to follow tutorials and not being able to script myself. What are some projects that I can do to improve my scripting capabilites as a beginner?

You can do any project the most important thing is to have fun and an end goal to keep your motivation up and be the reason why you keep learning.
For me it was making vehicles and mechs which let me explore roblox’s physics constraints, network ownership, humanoids, user input services.
The core is documentation and making mini learning projects. You should end up with a lot of mini projects and place files lying around.

You can give yourself mini-assignments to complete. I’ll give you my experience
I did watch youtube videos in the beginning and that is where I got ideas on what to make. If you watched TheDevKing before, he made an inventory and placement system which prompted me to go make it too, which was a very interesting and engaging project for me. You can also go to the roblox discord server and find ideas there in the devforum channel.

The fundament of scripting - or programming for that matter - is just plain english, by reading into other people’s code you could get a general understanding of what each line does and why, even with zero knowledge
You should pursue and create whatever you are interested in without being limited to tutorials - it’s important to gain a full understanding and to be independent in your code, find things that work and things that don’t - basically just have fun and gain knowledge
I don’t know your exact scripting capabilities, but I could suggest inserting free models of things you are interested in and trying to recreate them or even make better versions of them (and you always have the original so you can compare ways of implementations and solutions to problems that arise)
