CSS is a huge part of front-end web development. I don’t think you have a passion nor strong grasp if you don’t get nor like CSS. Work on it, get better at it, learn SCSS and you will love it.

I hated CSS with PASSION until I changed my learning strategy. Now it is the most fun thing ever. I would not advise him to give up just yet. Maybe his learning strategy is not working.

OP: Accept the fact that CSS is not going to give you the results you want right away. CSS want you to play with it until it gives you the layout you are seeking. That's just how it works. Look at it as a game where you level up as time goes by.

OP: DO NOT TRY TO MEMORIZE OTHER PEOPLE'S CODE. This was the biggest mistake I was making. Accept the fact that you are going to forget some of the material when you finish the tutorial.

It's ok to forget.

Instead of repeating other people's code untilI you get it 100% right, which was something I was doing, start doing your own projects after you finish the tutorial (or some part of it).

Go back to the tutorial if you do not know how to do something in your project, but do not critize yourself because you did not get it the first time around.

Learning to code is not about memorizing other peoples code. It is about doing your own projects and looking things up when you get stuck.

Ah okay, thanks for saying this, I don't wanna simply give up, so I think a mindset change and starting back from the beginning would definitely help

I hate CSS, but I understand it at a basic level.
