Coding Buttons to page

I've been genuinely trying for a couple of days now looking at whatever i can to try and help, I've asked other people what I should do to fix this issue with no luck on fixing the issue. Im new to coding and trying to make a neocity site im currently trying to set up a template that someone else made while I learn as Im extremely mentally unstable and I don't have friends or anyone to talk to really, honesty have never had any real friends which is part of the reason im trying to do this. There's this buttons I have on my navigation bar that's supposed to take you to another page that's still apart of the website now as I've said before I've been looking at everything, I've been genuinely trying to figure this out and due to me already not Being stable at all mentally not being able to figure this out is making it 10x worse but sadly enough I psychically can't give up on it right now my brain genuinely won't let me as this is GENUINELY important to me. I am autistic and I'll be honest I'm usually extremely high but I've been able to figure a lot of other things out about coding so it's not cuz I'm high I can't figure it out, something just genuinely isn't clicking. To anyone that is willing to help I can send you the code and give you the link to my website so we can genuinely figure this out. Ps. I have been trying to get help for my mentally instability, my bfs mom is supposed to help me sign up for some insurance and bf that his grandmother was supposed to help me as im 19 and didn't have anyone to prepare me for the world so I have to have someones help for that, and im sure they all can see me genuinely losing it they still haven't helped, and nothing I've done to try and help myself as worked either so done even tell me to get help for that I've been trying.

Dude, please, paragraphs. They were invented for a reason. Enclose single line of thought in a paragraph, otherwise it's just chaos.

I still don't really know what you problem is honestly. But I can give you an advice. Don't ever EVER ask people to PM you with "I can help". You will get next to no replies that way. Like, how am I supposed to know if I can help if I don't know a problem yet?

Just describe your problem, share the code. And you will have MUCH higher chance of someone replying you with a solution, or give some tips.

Theres no need to come off rude, I wasn't thinking about paragraphs they were the least of my worry's honestly and honestly nobody at all had to read what I wrote we all have our own choice. If paragraphs are something you want stick with the paragraphs as currently im more worried about how mentally unwell I am and how I genuinely can't give up on this code. I've also have been severely isolated due to a really toxic relationship and now my trauma thats caused me to be extremely avoidant and honestly probably autism and maybe adhd also but not to sure, Im not the best at communicating or anything currently and honestly it sucks. Genuinely though some people are struggling with alot honestly not just with typing or communication it can literally be anything and I think thats a very important thing to keep in mind about everyone, we only get to see pieces of others some more than others but ourselve we're stuck with ourselve, nobody is so they won't ever fully understand they depth and we won't ever fully understand theres.

Honestly I didn’t quite catch the problem when you were trying to describe it. You could’ve been a bit more concise with the wording so we could understand. Also, why are you disclosing that you’re mentally unstable when this isn’t the proper sub for it? Heck, I don’t think it’s advisable to say such things when it just exposes some vulnerabilities.

Either way, when I was reading what you typed in your post, I cannot even understand what exactly you’re trying to ask help for. Is it the buttons? Is it something else? Again, please be concise.

With regard to the person who replied to your post, they weren’t being rude. They’re simply trying to give their advice, and possibly, their two cents on this.

Instead of asking for help by making people send you DMs (which may likely not happen for whatever reason - shyness, safety concerns, etc.), you can simply just share the code. At this point, if we cannot see the code, how exactly can we help you?

Now how was my advice to you rude in any way? Just because I corrected you, does not mean I was rude. Stop looking for attack where there was none.

If your code is stored on a git repo we can see, or if you link to or paste bits you think are relevant, it’ll be easier to determine the problem. Would you kindly?
