No offense, but it sounds like a combination of overthinking everything and being nervous.
When I started, I was similar.
I read K&R C cover to cover, then sat to write a toy program and didn't even know how to start. Lesson learned.
Now when learning a new language, I scan the docs, then sit down to write something. Line by line, word by word if I need help(and I do), I'll find a reference, write it, move to next. And you'll learn that way, from repetition.
In short - less thinking, more doing.

I'd almost call it not worth reading if you aren't going to do them, but if you did the exercises (which get deep quickly) and came out unable to write a program that's a bit baffling.
