Common consensus will be that this means you're playing too high stakes and it's making you nervous or fearful to make a C-bet when you know it's correct (and also when you know some % of the time it will be met with a 3-bet or shove you have to fold to losing your c-bet money).

My online game improved immensely almost overnight once I started using C-bets more on missed flops esp in position. But I had to drop down stakes  and let go of any fear of losing the hand and be prepared to fold to 3-bet shoves sometimes.

Another way to frame C-betting as valuable (even though we fear we'll get raised, floated, or miss and end up with A high) for long term play is that it gives us information. If we check/check a flop after raising pre flop we have no idea where we are at in the hand and thus have little idea what villian might hold. We sometimes have to use the C-bet to gain information (ie if they smooth call the c bet on a 2 to the flush board we may consider strognly they are on a flush draw whereas if they immediately shove they may have hit a set OR have made a pair with a redraw to another bigger hand). Information isn't often free so when you're afraid to fire off a C-bet when you know you should...use the information gained from how your opponent responds.
