Instead of trying to learn everything, I would suggest to get confident in your ability to learn.

There is way too much tech to learn everything, thinking you need to learn everything will remove all the joy as its literally impossible and also unnecessary.

Instead just build stuff. If you build things you will almost always encounter things you don't know, that's fine, it's an opportunities to learn new things. If you do it enough you will feel totally fine not knowing everything as you'll know that you can learn things when you need them. Also with each project you'll gain new skills and expand you knowledge making the next project easier.

If you want to try some hardware stuff; get an arduino or raspberry pi or similar, find a fun project and start hacking!

Just ignore peer pressure, find back your genuine interest and curiosity, and pursuit it.
