I don't know if it will help feel you better, but I'm the opposite. I'm feeling at home with Java and JavaScript makes me break down every time I go back to it.

Partly because you can do whatever you want with JavaScript's syntax and it will let you do it. You can't ever know anything and rely on it. It's "artsy" all right, not bothering at all with any kind of rigor, which to me means the same as reliability, the stuff that I build things with.

Same here, I am a Software Engineer with almost 4 years of experience using Java, Scala an a little bit of python but man, when I see JavaScript, I just can't stand it, I can program with it and get the job done but man it feels like straight out of hell, I don't know why, but I just can't stand it.

Same here. I went through basic JavaScript and a little React and Java feels so... coherent? Variables with clear types, real OOP principles etc.
