Yeah, I understand your pain. I have seen someone here in this forum discouraging someone from trading. It's really bad but you wouldn't give up either way. Don't let others define you. First what you do is find the basic places you could learn about trading ( some exchanges offer such knowledge) then you can read books and maybe try copy trading if you want
Nothing can prevent someone from learning, especially if the intention is born from the bottom of his heart with a good enough spirit. A person will continue to try to learn whatever he cannot do in better ways so that he can do what he really likes. If someone really likes trading, of course the main thing is to learn everything related to trading along with how to use the big exchanges when they want to choose the cryptocurrency that they want to trade. So keep learning without having to pay attention to what other people say.
