I don't know what's going on, either if it's because of trauma or just my way of living until recently, but I struggle understanding a concept deeply when it reaches a certain level, as if i was 'scared' of methods and deeper meanings of things, afraid of "not being able to understand it" , it's like as soon as it gets to that point i already start the pessimistic thinking and i can only think there's no way out

I've recently been wanting to study computer science, programming
but it reaches a point where i can only think "i'll never understand this"
and although i think it comes more from an ignorant part of me and discouraging, i still want to breach this barrier

what can i do? as soon as i get to that point of "deepness" i start to get anxious and to think that's the furhtest i can go
as if i, never in my life, had actually understood something more than basically to get praised by others because of my environment (""gifted"" kid)
It's been pretty bad

you will never understand it. it's an insanely broad field, just like math. everyone specializes. your real pathology is presuming you need to understand a field for it to even be worth working at. that's just dumb. no one ends up at that point since Newton/leibniz days

You're likely trying to run before you can walk. Slow down. You don't need to hurry.

Learning takes time
Don't put too much on your plate.

OP here.

Thanks to all of you anons
It makes a lot of sense that i'm trying to understand a field before it all or trying to run before i can walk
it all comes down to time
thanks. i'll work into that

congrats you hit your learning curve, now your reading should be systemic (school like) if you want steady progress that you won't forget in 2 days

I'll work on it.
I have been neglecting living for too long

You take AI bots and ask them to explain you stuff in Feynman/rubber duck method

This. Also keep in mind that learning should never be too difficult; all the advanced concepts you will learn are built on all the simple ones you've already learned. If you don't understand something, go back to the basics.

OP here
the thread is about to be archived and before that i just want to say thank you to all of you who gave me advice on my problem
i'll make sure to try all of that out
