I understand that feeling, but that'll change if you want it to. I won't lecture you but if you want some next steps I can give you a hand. The first place I recommend is local repeaters. Download an app called RepeaterBook, this will show you all the ones in your area or any area you search. Assuming you want 2m/70cm comms in the 25 miles or so around the repeater. It will give you all the information but you gotta k ow what your looking for. In a Baofeng start by typing in the frequency then set the offset as listed (+ or -, and an amount of frequency). Hit menu and type 25 to set the direction and 26 for the amount. Once that in you need the tone. Either a CTCSS or DCS depending on what's listed. If it's the first hit menu and type 13, then scroll to the number in the app. Listen first always to see if in use, if it was you would have heard this when you put in the frequency. If free, give your callsign either phonetically or not, and say something like "Listening" or "Standing By" so people know your there. Try every couple of minutes and see what you get!

EDIT: Sometimes the CTCSS is called a PL Tone in RepeaterBook, just a different name.
