I also feel like I have to use a lot more pressure to shift from 1st to 2nd compared to going from 2nd to 3rd, which just might be me but I thought it was relevant to include. I am not super mechanically inclined so I can't diagnose an issue on my bike like this. Can you please tell me whats the issue and maybe how to fix it?

Welcome PIZZAcombo,

What type of bike, how old, and what type of shifters (down tube, bar end, thumb, grip, etc.)? Is your 1st ring in reference to the largest or smallest ring? Has the bike been regularly maintained? Has it been stored being exposed to the elements? These questions will help myself and others to give you some suggestions as to the cause of your problem. I am far from being an expert, but I manage to fix my bike problems on my own given proper tools/equipment. I generally work on +30 year old bikes so bear with me regarding yours if it is newer, but I will help in any way I can.

Take care,
Jesper
