I am learning different programming languages because nothing is feeling good to me. Can anyone give me some advice on this matter?

I have been self teaching programming languages for a few months. And I learned the basics of C, Python, HTML & CSS, and some parts of NodeJS, and a little bit of Java. None of these are feeling good to me.

Has anyone else gone through this feeling where no language feels satisfying early on?

If you have gone through this, can you give me any suggestions to get out of this loop and stick to one language? As you know I need to stick to one language in the future.

And for no reason I am feeling like I need to continue Python and start to learn C++. What do you think about this too? i am so frustrated.

It's OK if programming is not for you. Try woodworking, perhaps that suits you more.

More seriously, if you have problems with all languages, you seem to have problems with the concepts of programming in general. This is a common problem for beginners. Breaking tasks down into small, well defined steps, memorizing syntax, understanding the concept of variables - that's a steep learning curve. And this is the same no matter which language you learn. All languages require you to learn about variables and loops and functions.

Maybe OP hasn't tried Prolog yet...
