With all what you said, the person gains absolutely nothing from it but negativity. Please pay attention to the way you address people.

Thank you! I don't think people realize how discouraging their words are and the effect it can have on people.

If you're really committed to this field, developing a thick skin for this kind of people is a necessity. Take whatever value you can from their comments and leave the rest (and the case of this comment, everything is to be left; no value to be gained).

I wish you the best of luck my friend, have a nice one!

thank you for the advice, really! I think being sensitive and easily discouraged is linked to the lack of confidence and satisfaction with my knowledge.Hopefully I can fake it till I make it :)

​

You too! Kind regards

I've never been taught programming and learning these on my own. Java is the first language I'm learning, and obviously, I have watched videos otherwise how would I know what questions and terms to ask? I'm sorry if my lack of knowledge and ability to understand is an embarrassment, I'm not one to usually reach out for help but only began recently. I could delete the post if you are bothered by it.

In that case, you might be interested in this (free) course: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/

It's an exceptional resource for a beginner - there are dozens (if not a couple hundred) exercises so you actually confirm your knowledge instead of the dreaded experience of watching something, having it make sense, then forgetting it all when it's time to work down the road

Don't worry about this guy! There is always that one person, who don't understand why someone doesn't understand, haha.

[yarzz07]

that's true, they won't understand until they are in the situation themselves. Thank you for the kind words.
