In my experience, people who are good at things, who learned by being yelled at tend to believe this is the best way to teach people things. It's not. I've tried to teach people that way, it never works and it discourages them and makes them resent you.
People like that, myself included, tend to believe that because they can do it, it should be easy for other people to pick up. Or because other people can do it, it should be easy for me to do.
It took me a while to realize it doesn't work that way. Not everyone learns the same and not everyone has the same experience 'basic skills' as other people.
I've also been in your position, where I felt like I'm not good at something or wouldn't ever be able to do something because of someone yelling and being discouraging, that's not true either.
No matter what you're trying to learn, even if you're not good at it or you're not 'that kind of person' you can still learn with dedication and practice like anything else. The thing i've found is it's harder to get over that first 'ah I fucked up and feel stupid moment' that occurs with everything you learn and do.
I guarantee, you've had plenty of those with your computer stuff to, but they affect and discourage you less and you have more motivation to overcome those moments becauas you lack those memories and feelings of being yelled at over them.
This is just my own theories based on my observations in life, but they seem to have held true so far and there's been a few things i've actually pushed past those 'i'm a fucking idiot' moments and found i actually enjoy doing these things I used to dislike or be lousy at and i've found it's more my own fear of failing at them, than actual dislike of the activities themselves.
