I have a problem with doing the exercises, either in a textbook, or for an online course. I always expect to have the right answer straight away (whether a quiz or a coding problem), and get really frustrated if I don't. I guess 16 years of school conditions you to think like that. I also get a lot of anxiety when learning new stuff, wondering "what if I just can't understand this subject matter, period".

I think the "just can't" part can be mitigated by remembering your past successes. I don't think there was a time where I could never understand something (if I really tried) no matter how hard I tried. Might take a long time, but, eventually at least kinda got it. Now, understand some things in depth... definitely not, but get familiar, sure.
