I want to try enjoy it. Maybe I just need to run enough times to be accustomed to them. But the anxiety, man.
If you've only done the HW/SB raids, you might want to try the Lv50 Crystal Tower raids - they're easier (though still some instant-death things you need to learn to hide from) and if you're into the story, it ties into Shadowbringers.

If you're overwhelmed by the amount of "flashiness" on screen, you might want to look at the setting in the character configuration menu that lets you turn other players' battle effects down or off.
