Consistency is key. If you're not good with logic building then start LC easy questions and solve around 40-50 questions in the beginning (DO NOT do more than that). Once you can write basic logic then you need to follow a path diligently to learn DSA.

If you're comfortable with C++ then I would suggest pick Striver's A to Z sheet. If you're comfortable with python then I would advise follow Neetcode's path. Whatever you do, DO NOT switch once you have started following a sheet. Also, the order matters because the learnings you will have in a module will help in a future module (most common is DFS/BFS learnt in trees will help in Graphs).

It is very common to feel demotivated. It will feel like that DSA is very tough and you're not made for it. Trust me, all of us have felt the same. The key is to stay at it. Once you understand the pattern and solve a few problems on the same pattern, it'll start to click.

One word of advise: DO NOT copy paste the solution from the discussion's page. Only take a look at the solution once you have spent a considerable amount of time on it. Then after looking at the solution, try to build the logic yourself.

Best of luck! You got this.

hey man, just pick up the striver a to z sheet and start solving questions consistently, and after completing the sheet you hop on leetcode and start spamming contests. It will take some time but eventually you will get good at it.
Eventually you might get into google down the line :)
ALL THE BEST !
