My fear would be stuffing it up. Don't want to burn my friends and contacts on a flop because it would feel bad to ask them for a 2nd time later.

It's usually uncertainty masked as fear (add here any dimension you can imagine)
Be fearless! you built it and probably put everything into it, your knowledge, skillset, wisdom, and experience. Worst case scenario you get directional feedback to take it higher and higher and you evolve with it as well.
If you're not used to marketing, focusing on the product's development may feel like your safest bet.
Also from my experience, if you don't have experience marketing, tinkering around with building the product can feel like your comfort zone. Also if you have perfectionist tendencies! You want to nail everything before releasing (which is obviously the opposite of what you should be doing!)
