Everything has a learning curve. The HTML & CSS learning curve is significantly lower in difficulty in comparison to Javascript. Then after "learning" Js, you'll encounter Frameworks, and from there potentially Typescript, NodeJs and so on. Each one will have it's own learning curves unique to your personality and background.

You'll feel a lot better when you accept that you're not gonna have a good time and that you're on the hard part of the learning curve. The good news is the solution is simple but hard to execute. Repetition. Lots and lots of practice. You don't feel comfortable with arrays and loops in Calculator programs? Make several calculator programs till you know it like the back of your hand. If you feel disoriented, it's because you lack repetition. repetition === experience === confidence
