I don’t really understand how to play guitar or even how to approach learning.
Do you just memorize chords? When do you play individual strings instead of a full strum? Are certain notes and chords assigned to different keys?
It seems way above my head lol.
Help.

you approaching it from the wrong way
all you need to know is that there is only 12 notes and you can find same note on multiple places on guitar neck
if you had really long neck and 1 string and if you could play/access all positions in splitsecond, you would not need 6 strings, all 5 are just shortcuts to accomodate human anatomy
so 1st of all learn names and order of those 12 notes and then you can just learn shapes for your left hand. Once you get it then you will realize how you play with your right hand affect sound and maybe even in time you will hear diffrence between upstroke and downstroke
rest of guitar is just fighting to get strong fingers and to make them to actually listen to what you want them to do ( because they kinda were not evolved to play stringed instruments, fingers are for grabbling) and math.
Also later you will get some psychology lessons of what emotion your culture assigned to those specific sound/chords
Tip; Fire up a netflix show and just do 1234 (f f# g g#) to train fingers and picking
