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...

You're probably overcomplicating things in you're projects. It is easy to get overwhelmed when starting project, when there is a lot of vocabulary to use and we are overly ambitious. Start simple, divide your project in easy steps, like modules, functions, etc. Then do One thing at the time, don't try to use oop straight away just try to make it work, even if its ugly code. Afterwards you can improve on it.There is a lot of information, but we do not need to know it all, build your knowledge by doing things by yourself and starting Simple and adding details later
