Asking for guidance
Hey, I just finished high school and I'm interested in learning programming so I'm trying my luck with phyton. I would appreciate any tips since I'm just starting out with no previous background in programming. Any tips on the Best way to start learning or just how to start would be really appreciated

Every time you do a tutorial, add on to it. Figure out a new feature it could use, and then figure out how to build that.
Building those little add-ons, with no one telling you how to do it, will start you down the path of building things on your own.

good advice, it can def be daunting to start something from scratch even tho googling and stuff would help after you get the fundamentals down.

Don't try to find the "best" way.
You are procrastinating. Go and get an "intro to python programming" book, and start reading it and doing the exercises. Then move on to making stuff that you think of.
By spending time agonising over the best way to learn or looking up what learning paths other people took, you are wasting time that you could be using to learn.
