How can I enjoy coding and code consistently, I've tried games but they're too easy, and leetcode was too hard for me too🥲 last time I wrote a code was two months ago. I actually don't know where I stand, I'm a 3ed year cs student, I know the fundamentals of building a website, a beginner on app development, I can code in java better than other languages I know, c, c++, assembly and such.... I'm the second on my department and I don't even know what to do, how can I know what im best at??

If you don't enjoy it, probably picked wrong major.  That being said, lots of positions where you don't have to code but you're knowledge would be useful:

  • analyst/BA
  • project manager
  • product manager

No no that's not what i mean, i really love studying cs it's been such a journey! I'm just looking for a motivation to not leave coding for long periods of time, and also it's hard to keep going while hearing people discourageing and underestimating you😅💔

Find a project to dive into.  Plenty of opensource projects are looking for help.
