every time I attempt to do a pull-up, it feels like I'm just going to pull my arm out of its socket or otherwise injure myself. and I've done a lot of push-ups so it's not like I have no muscle or anything, and I'm not overweight at all
yeah, idk what to do about it. maybe a proper pull-up bar would help, but I don't really want to drop a bunch of money on that kind of thing... I must develop my pulling muscles though
Half the time I just do lateral pullups with a chair that's a couple feet away so it's more of a horizontal bodyweight row with feet supported. You can also do lateral pullups with a bar in a rack at a gym or just be lazy to the max and put the chair directly underneath you and distribute your weight at will.
You can get a removable door frame pullup bar from any sporting goods store for about 50 bucks
Something like this https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/stamina-doorway-trainer-plus-16smpudrgymplsxxxeac/16smpudrgymplsxxxeac where you just put it together and then can slide it into place whenever

That's the spirit!
