Fear of messing up

So I started a new job recently (administration at a college which I won’t name). It involves a lot of data entry, dealing with students, and filing transcripts among other things. My bosses and colleagues seem pretty nice and told me constantly to not be afraid to come to them with questions or make mistakes. The problem is I have a fear of messing up. I was told the same thing at my last job and was basically micromanaged and berated by my old supervisor constantly for “messing up.” Does anyone have any advice?
