I think, a good start rather than jump directly into it would be reading these 2 books:
Don't make me think - Steve Krug
100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People - Susan Weinschenk
There's a new version of don't make me think focused in web usability, that could be a better option, but I did read the first edition, so I can't say about this one.
There are a lot of resources. But take in consideration this, UX is more about user research, people tend to confuse it with UI design (You probably see a lot of UI/UX designer) but in reality are totally different disciplines, although still it's pretty common see both linked.

EDIT: I did a little research and found this article from Invision talking precisely about UX misconceptions.
Thank You Very Much ❤❤❤
