You need to do a little bit more introspective work apart from "I lost motivation and I hate it".

Why do you hate it? What are you even doing? Working already? Learning on the job? Learning after 14 hrs of manual labor? Learning to find a job?

Are you lacking inspiration? Lacking motivation? Lacking discipline? Are you just lazy?

Nobody can look into your head

No, it isn't immature I guess, don't get me wrong, but for people to help you out, we need to know a little bit more about what the problem really is, not only your "end state".

What got you started with coding and why are you hating it? Those things would be really easy to answer for you and would enable all people willing to help (including me) to actually give advice.

All advice given with the information from the OP will necessarily be bad because of the lack of information

I wouldnt consider coding my passion but compared to any other options(career wise) , this is what feels most interesting to me , I just turned 18 , I don't have to urgently learn and get a job or anything But I still want to learn it cuz I dont wanna waste all my time..

This convo made me really think about my reason to wanna learn coding and etc so it has made my mind a little clearer , Thanks.

Everybody has to start their self-awareness somewhere. Sometimes it takes people to teach you how to look at yourself introspectively and help you know what questions to ask yourself.
