Not everybody is suited to do everything. The only way to find out if you are is to try. By "try" I mean, give it a good effort. Get past the initial clumsiness due to lack of experience and knowledge. Get into the zone where you have somewhat of a handle on things, then decide if it's for you, or not.

You get real good at something if you really like doing it. That's what gives you the impetus to delve deeper for the skills, and dig deeper for the effort. If it's something you do not enjoy, no amount of persistence will help. You tried. You saw. You moved on to something more suited to your temperament. No harm. No foul.

DO NOT EVER let "what people might think" OR "what this might look like to others" influence your decision. It's none of their damned business in one respect, and insofar as reflecting on those around you - if they're good friends they understand. They do the same thing themselves.

If we didn't learn from our mistakes we'd all be a bunch of pointless idiots...no, wait. Oops

"You never know until you try." -some really smart person, or some guy with a lot of bruises, and stitches...
and scars, and stuff-

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Try both...but personally I prefer PvE. There is a lot of enjoyable highsec PvE, done solo, or in groups. Do whatever makes you happy, as fundamentally the point of the game is to have fun.

Well OP, PvP lesson number one...Don't take PvP advice from Veers..he just plain doesn't do it

...although (and I can't believe I'm going to say it) he is right about trying both...as PvP is not for everyone. BUT..everyone should try PvP and know how to do it or you will be nothing but a target. You are either thepredator or the prey...and YOU decide which you will be. Evil

If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

Confirming that I never PvP. RollShocked

If you are going to lie, at least make it believable.
