What exactly happens when approaching the speed of light?

I’ve looked it up and the explanations just aren’t clicking in my dumb brain. Even things like explanation of Einstein’s special relativity also just never click for me.

Nothing special. You are, right now, approaching the speed of light in some reference frames. There’s no difference between being “stationary” in one reference frame compared to “going really fast” in that reference frame. Because if you change the reference frame then the second example can be stationary and the first one would then be moving really fast. There is no universal reference frame and all inertial reference frames are equal.
