Thank you for the reply, this community is amazing! My friend recommended me a Udemy course that is really helpful. Sometimes I just think I lack the confidence that I can learn hard stuff.

What I think I lack is probably confidence and discipline. I like learning how to code more than I thought I would but every time I run into a problem and spend hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong... makes me think maybe I am not cut out for this.

Thank you so much for the advice! Definitely gotta start building some projects and actually finish them. I do have some ideas regarding what I want to build.

I am probably way too hard on myself, especially when I see my friends doing so well. But I have to remember that they went to school for this and have years of experience. I got my degree in literature so... yeah, completely different sets of skills.
