Just pouring "hate" on things you don't understand or haven't learned yet -is going to be a problematic standpoint
I completely agree. However, I do think I have a legitimate reason for 'hating' CSS, which is pointed out in this comment, TLDR; I find it difficult to notice subtle changes in documents, so I miss a lot of things.
I do try to be optimistic and try my best on most things, it's just that I try to focus on what I'm good at and as a result, I ended up (sort of) ignoring CSS - until I began full-stacking.
Yet I agree that I should take some more time to learn it since I do believe prioritizing on the project's needs should be put before what I find efficient to study.
My suggestion would still be to instead focus even more on css, and anything else that makes you anxious or scared. I was in the same position about a year and a half ago. I could not figure out css and I "hated" it and avoided it. I kept trying and it started to click. Now I'm pretty good at it. Have you tried SCSS? Its nesting feels just like the DOM. If you can figure out the Dom you can get css. You have problems with subtle style changes? Then start with broad ones and refine over time. Everything in programming starts from a similar position. If you can learn anything - you can learn css. Or you can't learn anything. Can you?
If you can learn anything - you can learn css. Or you can't learn anything. Can you?
I completely agree with this statement and I do believe that learning CSS was not the issue, but my approach to life which is to study things that I can learn efficiently/effectively(High output compared to input). CSS was a field that directly contradicted with this/my mindset.
But I will definitely try out SCSS and tailwind(as others have suggested) and try to structure my project in the most optimal sense possible.
You have problems with subtle style changes? Then start with broad ones and refine over time.
Also an approach I hadn't really considered.
Trying a css framework before you understand css might make things more difficult. Maybe not. Everybody is different. SCSS isn't a framework, just a slightly improved way of writing it.
