Not consciously, no. But if you're not confident in your abilities, then you will tend to think, unconsciously, that you'll not do well. It's like walking along a tight rope, without confidence, you're likely to fall because you feel you will. You don't want to fall (consciously), but your lack of confidence (out of conscious control) is blatantly present and stronger.

I mean, there are some tunes that I am confident I can play, and there are some that I'm not. My skill is not objectively any different, but my confidence changes it.
