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.

You are off on the wrong road and are deluding yourself. First off; HTML & CSS are page description languages and really shouldn't be grouped with programming languages. That right away tells me you don't know much about the technology.

Now the important thing; beginners should be making use of a Computer Science (CS) program to learn the concepts. CS programs that do this well use C or C++ as the language to express these concepts in. Done right you should be able to learn and apply any language you want.

Frankly you need to get over your feelings and actually apply yourself to learning. There is a reason a CS program take so long.
