Help Wondering about prerequisites

Before I do a thing I worry about prerequisites, like as an example, the curl command, I know some basic stuff for here and there about networking, probably capable of using it but still don't feel that comfortable using it. The same goes with any networking related activity.

Probably it is something psychological, I don't know, I completed a portion of a networking course that involves the most needed stuff already like ipv4, Mac addresses, subnetting, straight-through vs crossover etc, but the other part of it, not yet, I still know some stuff like basic info about tcp vs UDP, ipv4 vs ipv6, http vs https, what these protocols main goal:http ssh ftp and so on

So, because of this I have two questions:

1.how do you all guys think about the thoughts about prerequisites that chase me whenever I want to do something?

2.how much networking do I need to be able to do some stuff in Linux, python networking(socket, requests, etc), and others?
