Weird state of being lost

I’m in this super weird state of being lost, I know HTML and CSS very well and before I learned those I learned Python yet for some reason I can’t seem to make myself use JavaScript, I understand the logic I just get confused when working with DOM.
Not really sure what to do at this stage.

Back in 2017, I started working as a web developer with React JS. I'm aware of vanilla JS and JQuery but I never coded anything significant with those tools. JSX allowed me build a lot of stuff without actually understanding how the DOM works. Ultimately it depends on what you want to do with JavaScript - Node server? Front end Application? Electron Desktop App? You can come back to understanding DOM once you're more familiar with JavaScript.

Study JavaScript more, especially the core instead of the DOM. Try TypeScript. Try a Frontend framework since you know HTML and CSS. Try Node or Nest if you like backend more. Try Electron if you'd like to try desktop apps development.
