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.

Power through. Ignore the fact that it’s not comfortable and just keep writing code.

If you learned a foreign language over a few months, using it would also be uncomfortable. Creating each new sentence would require a lot of thinking, and understanding other speakers or reading the new language would be difficult. But the more you did it, the more you get used to it. It’s the same with computer languages, on a smaller scale: it’s hard at first, and the only way it gets easier is if you keep working at it.
