It depends on whether you want to follow the Apostles and the consistent teaching of the Church for close to 2,000 years or not.
Actually, it does not. You have been baptized already. There is only one baptism.
If you attempt to try and be “rebaptized” , it is not baptism so it doesn’t matter what you do.
This thread shows the result of religious confusion the devil has spread in the Christian world.......do what you want......do it if it will make you feel better.....pray about it........blah blah blah.

There has not been one consistent teaching that is unbroken for 2,000 years. Sorry. Most catholic denomination teaching arose out of syncretic paganism, mixed in with Christianity.

My legitimate water baptism was after I received Jesus Christ as my savior NOT when I was sprinkled as a tiny baby not even understanding what was being done to me. It was by faith that I am/was saved and not an outward act before others. God sees my heart. He knows if a person's faith is genuine. There is a baptism of the Holy Spirit and there is an ordinance of water baptism. The former is what makes one redeemed. The latter only makes one wet if the faith is not real. I choose to believe God over manmade religion.
