It’s all about the relevance of the job and how often. I’ve seen plenty of resumes and interviewed quite a few people. One thing that surprised me is when people start talking about a job that’s not on their resume that’s way more relevant than what is on there.
If it’s a couple times with longer stints I’m usually understanding. If it’s a string of four or more at less than a year all in a row, that raises concerns on my end. I never recommend lying on your resume. However, I understand being selective. When it comes to dates, stick to years (2018-2019) instead of months (12/2018-2/2019).
If you have a good reason for short jobs (family, COVID, etc), it’s up to you. I never minded that, but some recruiters or managers do.
You’ve got this. Leaving a job is the most freeing thing I’ve ever done and I was terrified before I did it. Your anxiety is normal and understandable. You’re going to be okay!
