Does this sound stupid?

For me to not reach out to old profs to pull some strings for me as far as jobs. I don't want them to look bad if I don't perform well. When I was looking for an internship (months ago) I asked a prof and he told me that I need to be serious about it if he's gonna get me in. I ended up declining his offer because of that, AND the fact that I had a job, mandatory volunteering and 5 classes.

I feel like I let myself down too easy.😩

You have to believe in yourself and your in abilities to succeed. There’s nothing wrong with asking professors for help, people do it all the time 😇 Some are really happy to help and go out their to do it if you’re a good student. It sucks you had to decline that offer, I would have accepted regardless of what he said. The fact that he was willing to do it says that he had good intentions. He most likely wasn’t trying to scare you away with what he said.
