In college, one of the most notorious classes was C++ programming. For whatever reason, I had a hard time wrapping my head around pointers. It wasn't until an OS class the following year when they finally clicked for me.
I think when you first learn something that's completely foreign to you it's hard to really understand it until you actually see why it's needed in the real world.
I have overcome that feeling for things like C++, but still get intimidated by things that are totally new to me. Also, regular expressions. I still hate using those today.
