Medium Leetcode Questions are difficult? Need Advice | No Prior CP experience.

Hello all,

Greetings,

I am a beginner on leetcode, been here coding for around 2 months ( with no prior competitive coding experience) as I find Medium ( even easy sometimes) tagged questions here difficult. I did try solve around 30 of them and most of them were either me looking the solution and then solving it or actually solving it like a naive with pathetic runtime.

Is this normal ? or should i change my way of learning or approaching to problems ?

Any suggestions/feedback are welcome.
Also Youtube channels / Books / Blogs / Techniques / Anything that helped y'all during the initial programming days are welcome!!

PS. I dont plan to stop doing CP any time soon. Just wanna make sure im going in the right direction.

Thank you,
GradCoder

Update 1- 23/10/2020 : Ive successfully solved around 120 questions and now med-easy and easy problems does seem easy. Not started with hard yet.
