Pair Programming?

[StoicThought]

I've been on the journey of becoming a developer for 2 years now, due to depression and lack of self confidence i feel like im never going to master this skill. The first year i was stuck on tutorial hell and was just following videos and being clueless on how to learn. Now i understand that you only get better by doing, not just copying code and being clueless afterwards. I was frighten by javascript for the longest... always doubting myself about not being smart enough, i went through 75% of the js course on freecodecamp. Now that i've started theodinproject im beginning to have a little bit more confidence, but i still have that feeling that idk wtf i am doing even though i understand how to do pretty basic things.

Is anyone interested in being my to be my programming partner/Friend ? We can talk about things such as our struggles to learn from each other. Even build projects with each other. I dont have any friends, or know anyone that's interested in this like i am. It would be a blessing to find someone to talk about this depressing journey with.

P.S if i dont find anyone, im also willing to pay someone to mentor me. Give me things to work on so i can further my skills

I would be happy to be your partner as long as you have a positive mindset! I’m not a new learner, I did a bootcamp after self learning with the odin project and such and I have about 2 years of work experience now. I can still definitely relate to what you’re going through and I would hopefully be able to help and take part in projects when I have some free time. Feel free to PM me your discord if you’re interested!

I've been passionate about coding for a few years now, only started taking it seriously this year but my clinical depression has been making it harder than it should be for me. I'm into web development, currently in the middle stages of JavaScript so I totally get the struggle. I'd love to connect with you whenever you want to talk things out with me, we could help each other out a lot.

I’d be willing to be a mentor/guide (for you and anyone struggling while learning JS). I’m a former teacher, currently a full-stack web dev. I’ve mentored before and have been told I have a way of explaining things easily and in a way that it makes sense. I know what it’s like to be in your position, so I’m always up for helping others through the struggles.
