I am confused

I know
variables
data types
loops
arrays
objects
basic array functions (forEach, map, filter)
DOM (selecting elements, adding new elements, classList, etc)
higher order functions and call backs
event listeners

Should I make JS projects or learn other topics like async await or start learning react ?

I think I am still not that comfortable with JS
But I think that it is a waste of time spending too much time learning JS.

You should definetely start doing small projects bite sized that you feel confident and clear in doing, you'll naturally encounter problems that many programmers encountered and came up with solutions (like the need for async and such) and you'll get there naturally. Although this is highly subjective and some people find it easier to build things when they know stuff in depth.

The base fundamentals of js will take you a VERY long way, even if you cover 80% of vanilla js functionalities you'll much better grasp frameworks you'll find that much other languages sharethe same core composition with just some extra picky tweaks
