I am not even able to do that, and that is the problem, I am not even a run-of-the-mill human and since atleast a decade, (atleast i thought or fantasized that) i have always wanted to be this driven person who achieves great things, and earns enough money that money is no object but other bigger, deeper things are what drive me but here i haven't done shit, partly because whenever a complex subject is put in front of me, i have used some or other avoidance technique to push to learn it later and never did.

Now i am trying to learn C++ from scratch but it's going agonizingly slowly, because some thing in me prevents me from being able to actually write the code on the screen and i don't know why.

So, you’re 24. You’re already learning C++, and that great. I didn’t write a line of code until my late 20s. I’m doing ok now. You’re well on track.

It’s hard to write code. It’s even harder get started because you’re learning how to learn. The learning curve is exponential but that also means incredibly slow in the beginning. Be patient with yourself.
