So I had the same problem for a while, it was quite absurd, because I got through my uni courses, could decently code in Haskell and some other things, but never figured out the appropriate position to put an if clause. I then did a course on assembly programming and having to be extremely structured and using jump statements actually helped me a lot in easier to use programming languages. Point of this comment is that people might be good at a lot of things, while just having some weird brainfuse related to a very specific thing. That said, not using if statements makes programming rather difficult.
