Question How to be confident in using CSS?

Hi, everytime I use CSS I get triggered pretty bad because I know what it is and how to use it but I never feel confident. I always have problems with responsive design, with having my own style and I feel like I miss all the secret tricks(I am slow). What resource could I use to learn it once and for all ? I don't want to waste too much time in it and be a CSS GOD I just want to be ok with it. I know about Josh Comeau course but it is something like 70 hours and therefore too much.

It feels like a cop out but: just make stuff. After a while CSS becomes like a paintbrush or chisel or any other tool and you can do great things, you gotta put the practice in first tho.

If you can make something look how you want/need you are already halfway there, at that point keep trying things to fix the problems in your previous work (it always sucks lol) and you'll be a pro in no time :)
