I became pupil a few days back and now I am deathly afraid of falling down back to Newbie but at the same time I really want to give contest because i like it. How do i combat this?

The only way you reach Specialist is if you do more contests.
Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everyone wants to reach GM, but nobody wants to practice for it
That's literally what he said.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

and what will happen if you fall to newbie? the worst thing that can happen is that you gain valuable experience, which can only be positive. it doesnt matter what the number on the screen is, as long as you are trying, and improving

If you fall back, then it just means that you still don't belong to the pupil region, i.e., you're still a newbie. you'll stay if you're really as skilled as a pupil guy.
same I don't want to lose my $$${\color{blue}{color}}$$$, I haven't participateed any contest ever since I reached expert from div3..
practice and have big goals
It is like: dont walk, you would never fall.
I don't think that is proper analogy. You can still practice without ever failing. I will not participate until have CM performance for 5 contests in row. in this way you never fail but still improving
you fearing falling to newbie bro don't see my rating graph reached spec then fell to newbie and back to pupil rating shouldn't matter to us right now, improvement in problem solving should only matter to us
so you goal shouldn’t just be there Set your goal higher, like Master, and you will find that 1200 is just a small point on your way to progress. Than you may feel ok to continue contest maybe
Don't care about rating too much, it doesn't matter, the most important things are do you enjoy it or do you learn something from it.
You are already on floor, where you are fearing to fall.
I'd suggest that you should try solving from C, to B, to A. Nowadays, C's are pretty much solvable even for a Pupil. If you have AC on C, give the contest; otherwise, don't. Use an alt ID for this (against the rule, but ok if you only solve one problem with that ID per contest).
this has to be the worst advice of all times
its common thing at the beginning and even when you reach higher ratings You would feel afraid of losing the rating. I also feel the same.... so i have an alternate id .... i reached expert on my alternate id too... https://codeforces.me/profile/pranav_2005 so you can create an alternate id
maybe take a step back, stop thinking about rating and try to enjoy problem solving itself more
