Why can't I skate to save my life?

Question

I have been skate(board)ing for like a year already but I can only ollie. I haven't even mastered it yet I can't ollie off or onto anything. I get really scared to take risks and to jump forward for shuvits and to ollie onto or off something. Most people just say to take it slow but I'm scared of everything. How do I overcome this fear? What are some good tricks for a good street rider but aren't too hard? If I wouldn't be scared to jump for the shuvits I could maybe land them, and I wouldn't chicken out on landing kickflips I could maybe land them also, because I can flick it and land with one foot sometimes. help?
