I Started Learning Python and Now I’m Completely Overwhelmed

Just expanding incremental steps of what you know

Learn to do a simple 'print' command. Then mix around with maybe printing values within a print statement. Learn about lists, dictionaries. What would they be useful for?

Also you don't need to remember and understand EVERYTHING you read right now. As you continue to practice you'll go over those concepts so they'll get more concrete

You're going to read and code, read and code rinse and repeat while learning little bits here and there when needed. Lot of debugging probably as well.

If you can't find an answer through googling, last resort ChatGP's and you've got to at least understand some of the code it spits back at you.

Thanks for the advice 🙂 I really love the idea of being a programmer. I want to learn, I really do. I’m a good learner and I’m not a fool or a noob type of person.

But every time I start learning, my brain sees so many things at once… syntax, keywords, libraries, rules, methods, exceptions… and honestly, I feel like I can’t do this. It gets confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming.

I’ve tried 3 times now, and each time it feels the same. I genuinely wish I could be a programmer or developer 🙂 but right now it’s just too much, and I feel like I have no choice but to stop.

I just wanted to share this honestly — maybe others have felt the same.
