Default Clutch slipping?

when im at a stop and i start to roll with first gear it feels like my clutch is slipping, just got this car and it wasnt doing this before, is it because the way i drive or does the clutch need replacement?

You dont have one, yours is hydraulic. And now we know what car you have. Will it spin the tires in first? Or chirp them in second?

is the clutch actualy slipping? can you put in high gear and punch it and accelerate or does the tach go up but tnot the speedo. if it is slipping it could be the clutch is worn out, there could be somehing leaking onto the clutch, parts could e wor out or binding. first establish if the clutch is actualy slipping

Fixed

If possible, find some dry pavement and try what ludenoob99 suggested.
