Jesus you are naive. Writing doesnt make you change form into a different person. Being so sensitive as to how others see you is a real fucking negative trait, and I guarantee that it will make your writing feel disingenuous if you try to appeal to everyone.
Why dont you try getting your writing to a level you are happy with instead of focusing on what not to write like? One of the reasons people on tumblr are hated is because of their lack of originality and their tend to conform to a specific identity. Try to just be yourself and write. Right now your writing is probably worse than those "tumblr faggots" anyways.
Read some good books for inspiration and try some poetry and (maybe) rap for some flow and rhythm.

At least my mum is fine with harboring a failure.

I got a short story published in a literary journal at 19, lad. Insecurity and self-deprecation are a big part of writing but you need to use them to improve your work, not to detract from it, and certainly not to prevent it from even happening in the first place. When are you going to be "old enough" to get started? In your twenties? "Oh, I'm just a college kid, I'd be a cliche!" In your thirties? "Oh, I'm only thirty-two, I don't have enough life experience yet to write a story!" Stop thinking this way.

Writing is a skill like playing the violin or surfing. You need to practice before you get good. So naturally you need to put in a lot of hours of practice before getting any good. It's pretty much inevitable that your early work will be crap, but you need to power through. Also, you need to read a lot of good authors to get an idea of what good writing looks like. Also you need to find a good writer who can critique your work.
