Comment on What is OOP, really? Why so many different definitions?

How would one use it if they’re struggling to understand it to start with? 🤨

You are right. But I still find the ‘heavier’ theory, that is what I assumed OP refered to, to be more difficult to grasp then following a basic tutorial and just trying to solve problems. In time with practice you get a better understanding for WHY the theory is how it is, and you can apply it better and of course improve your code. And that understanding will unlock more tools both in OOP and in your mind.
So if you are struggling, I recommend not starting with theory.

I see where you’re coming from, I think. In my experiences with trying to follow tutorials though, I’ve found the difficulty to be between rough explanations and the examples given feeling too a little too simple and isolated from how they might be applied in a working program.

Yes, and often incomplete or not maintained.
Anyway, OP read different sources about OOP and still needs to ask the definition… At some point it is better to just do something than to keep banging your head at the theory. If learning to code is your endgoal
