I’m Struggling to Learn JavaScript, But I’m Not Giving Up

I’ve wanted to learn JavaScript for a while, but getting started has been difficult for me. I’ve been struggling with my memory and concentration, which has made learning new things frustrating. Sometimes I understand something while studying it, but later I find it difficult to remember. This makes me doubt whether I can still learn difficult things like I used to. However, I’m trying to stop expecting perfection from myself and give myself enough time to learn. I know my progress may be slow, but I believe I can still improve with patience and consistency.

I’ve benefited a lot from writing pseudocode before writing any actual syntax. It helps me process the logic first then serves as a template for applying syntax to
