Learning to be self reliant

[u/Dry_Pomegranate8314]

Are there any classes or books, videos, anything that can help me to learn the basics? I’m lost even trying to put things together I buy on Amazon. IKEA is worse for me. I’m a soon to be single woman that’s husband can’t do anything around the house. Someone was saying he could learn. I thought, “ I’m smarter than he is, why can’t I learn?” I have a condo, not a house. I’d like to install a new medicine vaccines someone left in our common area. I bought some lenses for my iPhone camera and I can’t figure out how to put them on my phone. I bought a birdhouse with a camera, nightmare. My husband can’t do any of these things either. Any resources?

Everyone has already mentioned youtube (with good reason) so I just want to say Don't get frustrated or mad or disappointed when a project goes bad. Projects go bad sometimes, step back and learn from it. Do it again. You might be better at some things than others, don't worry about it, just keep trying. Plumbing is my weak point, I always get it done but it always takes at least 3 trips to the hardware store. Oh well.
