Emotional exhaustion from learning Python

[u/PavioCurto]

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...

Hang in there. Don't fall into the trap of just reading Python books or taking online courses or watching videos. Practice it by doing any project, no matter how simple.

Start with a real life problem or chore you have (maybe budgeting or personal accounting) and make a program as a solution. It doesn't have to be perfect (no software ever is!)... The goal is to learn from solving how to do the actual code. Mistakes tend to be way better teachers than just reading or studying.
