I have experienced the same type of frustration and sympathize. The laws governing nature are simple and elegant, but they work at a level quite remote from the parameter regimes we experience macroscopically, so they indeed seem unintuitive. There are many good resources online that can help (I encourage you to search for them), but the truth is that you need to spend many hours reading and solving problem sets to build something you can call intuition. I promise you, it is worth it, but there are many other things that are worth it too.
