Beginner to trading

I wouldn’t even say beginner. I don’t know anything about trading, but it’s the only thing that interests me when it comes to working and making money. I tried finding mentors, gotten scammed NUMEROUS times, ghosted, left on delivered, all of those repetitive YouTube videos are copy pasted for views and don’t give any real advice… I’m stuck and I haven’t even started. How the actual hell do I start in this hobby if I can’t even find the starting point? I’ll graciously take any advice because it’s desperately needed. I don’t want to waste years on my own learning how this all works by anything that won’t bend my trust, and will at the very least, just show me where the stepping stones can be found.
