i know theres different learning styles, i dont know which one fits for me...

i tried online learning for my last year of highschool and it was hell, its like i wasnt able to actually listen to my teacher over video call, its like everything went in one ear and it came out the other one, i had good grade in my last year too, my grades didnt go down at all but i was barely holding it. i dont know if being in a computer inmedietly distracts me or what but its like so hard for me to learn

that way. Its all so confusing cos the internet holds so much informations but its like my brains sees something in the screen that im not all excited about but i still want to do and its just, off. Is this fixable? will i be dumb forever? i want to learn so much but its like my brain wont let me no more :(

if i find anew thing i like, all is fine, but i know life is not all about doing things we like, i want to learn but i just cant concentrate when the subject isnt something im 100 percent engaged or passionate about. idk whats wrong with me but i do really want to learn and do stuff, creative projects or writing. idk if this is a relatable struggle i just kinda wanted to vent here cos i dont have friends to talk to.

reall. Of course u wont be dumb forever bro, u arent dumb now. U want to learn stuff and that means your not dumb. Honestly I think is just setting a certian time for ur self to do stuff like creative projects. like for example when im studying I do the pomodoro technique which is basically like learning for one hour and then resting for 30 minutes, that way you can concentrate for a short amount of time and then --

rest that way your brain doesnt get distracted and stuff

also like external deadlines, tell someone that in one week time I'm gonna show u this creative project i'm working on. this deadline you set for yourself will make you work, and show something to this person.but idk bro this my advice.

honestly, it's just trial & error (at least for creative stuff). after doing something a lot, you eventually learn what works for you and what doesn't. Aside from that, use videos. Being able to hear & see someone explain something is always so helpful and it really makes things 'stick', you know? If you're using videos though, write down the things in the video as well. Honestly, whenever you're trying to learn ...

... something new, just try to write it down (but don't write it down verbatim, try to abbreviate or summarise things where you can, since this means you're actually processing the info). Also, when writing stuff down, try to write with pencil/pens if you can, because there have been studies that show that writing stuff with a keyboard is less effective for learning (but both are still effective).

I think a mixture of reading, real-world experience, and immersing yourself in it? I like to read the Wikipedia articles on things I enjoy (it provides a mostly objective account with sources!), attend events/participate in things related to it (in my case, working in theatre) and making it part of your daily life. I'm just some guy chattering though, so take my word with a grain of salt!

learning from videos never worked from me (for non-artistic stuff), because I need to go at my pace and be able to re-read the same thing 5 times if I have to. Hands-on skills, I prefer videos because you need visuals on how to do the things though. I've started studying art history earlier this year because why not, and I found out it is daunting because the internet has that much information available

So I didn't know where to start. I managed to find a website that offers 'syllabi', curated guides already set like a course. It helped with the pressure of having to find the study material, which was one of the big struggles for me. But that's for more academic knowledge, I feel like how you learn also depends on what you learn

the fact that you're eager to learn in the first place is something you should be proud of!! ..this is probably not the best advice but i force myself into it before i start to like it. like, i always find popular songs with good verses and the rest is eh, but after listening too many times i start to warm up to it. associating things you don't like with things you like makes you begrudgingly like them.
