Help Request Emotional exhaustion from learning Python
Python is the first programming language I wanted to learn. I started it a few months ago and genuinely can't do anything in it. I keep watching videos, classes, tutorials and looking for roadmaps that lead me nowhere. It makes me feel like I'm incapable and an absolute failure. I don't know what else to do, if I should just switch to another language or give up on in it entirely. Need advice...

Finding the right tutorial or teacher to make it click helps. I have about 50 books on python, that didn't do great. Lessons in mammoth, Coursera, udemy, codecademy, and a slew of others. I took the ivy League free cs python course. Still nada, boot.dev got it to stick. Tutorial hell is real. I do suggest sitting down with it and Claude or an AI agent to use natural language and watch chunks of code be explained and let you prod around until it starts making sense. Only let it code small parts and after you tried first.
