You should always consider yourself a newbie if you want to become a good programmer .There's always something new to learn .

@shubham09 welcome and good luck.
I've been programming more than half of my life, since I was 12.
Whenever I'm learning a new language or paradigm I feel exactly the same... lost in a sea of immense knowledge and almost too many resources to know what's going to work.
Most recently I learned Angular 2+ and Ionic 2+.
Right now I'm learning Graph databases and Neo4j. I'm also learning Russian.
If you're good, you'll come to love that feeling, it never goes away... it just changes its meaning: from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I don't know what I'm doing yet".
The best thing you can do is concentrate on what you want to do... get your core programming skills down in whichever language you wish to learn and then look at what else is available once you're comfortable. Find a consistent resource that works for you to learn it, and work it right the way through.
You'll get a wealth of advice from people on what you should learn and when, stick to your guns... most of these people are biased.
One of our newbies started out learning python and R... as he went around the company people told him he should learn Java, C#, JavaScript, Cordova, Angular, Ionic, Ruby, SQL Server, everything else...
Being somewhat agnostic I said he won't go wrong with learning his core programming skills on python, and his end goal is to visualise data analytics graphs so Python and R was a good fit to begin with.
If you ask a gastroenterologist what's wrong with you he'll say it's your stomach. A neurologist will say it's your nervous system. -

Lol same here my dude. I'm still only I'm high school. I've got hardly any idea what people are talking about sometimes.

Welcome!
This is a good thing, it means you're putting yourself outside your comfort zone and have plenty of opportunities to learn.
Even once you have plenty of experience under your belt, when you start looking at new technologies or tools you'll find yourself back in the same boat.
My advice; embrace it.
