No prob
I went through what you're going through 5 or 6 years ago. I took classical guitar lessons way back in the 70's and never really played anything other than finger style on a nylon string guitar.
Then, I bought a steel string acoustic about 6 years ago and started learning to play with a pick. It's a whole separate skill you will have to develop and practice. Strumming, alternate picking, hybrid picking, etc all take slightly different skills that you'll have to develop... and your years of fingerpicking won't have prepared you much for any of it. Well, actually it will come in handy for learning hybrid picking.
I agree with u/Naticus_55 that you should try a variety of picks. Not only different grips/textures, but also different thicknesses and shapes. Over time I have gravitated to Dunlop Max Grip picks. I seem to go thru phases where I'll use different thicknesses but have been using the .60 mm ones most recently.
Even after 6 years or so I still find the pick tends to shift in my hand when I play - especially when switching between strumming and picking individual notes. I've gotten better at gauging how tightly to hold the pick so that I can play cleanly without totally losing control of the pick's orientation, but I've also found that I've gotten better at adjusting the pick on the fly while I'm playing.
Anyway, just try not to get discouraged. It takes time. Enjoy the journey. Be the pick. haha.
