I can't learn anything unless I do hands-on work.. I've tried pretty much everything.
Check this. Even if you feel like you already know this, try at least to make the proposed exercises. Most people find out they don't know as much as they think ;)
Any more.. beginner-friendly exercises?

Looks like you didn't explore those tutorials enough. They're geared to total beginners and they have quite a few exercises (from character strings chapter onwards). That said, I strongly suggest you reading it from the beginning.

It's kInd of problemetic. Reading doesn't get anything into my head. Unless I work alone and try to figure stuff on my own, nothing will get inside of my head.

I'll read them again and hope for better rsults.. I'm not very optimistic though.

You cannot learn programming by reading. You have to practice. Also do not copy-paste code. Copy it manually.

Is 3 smaller or equal to 4? *looks at fingers* 1, 2, 3, 4. There, should be true.

we are saying 2 things.
that 3 is is smaller than 4. which is true. but also saying that:
3 = 4, which is false.

It's not smaller and equal, it's smaller or equal. One of the statements needs to be true for the entire expression to be true.
