Anyone else bummed out posting on StackOverflow?

The past few days I have been studying programming. I believe I am understanding code a lot better than I used too compared to myself last year. I am getting comfortable with C++ so I started to make a project that revolves around classes and storing them in vectors. I was so proud of myself till I got stuck. So I had the bright idea to post on StackOverflow. The two times I did post were flagged, downvoted and then locked. Some of the kind people there did answer my question so I did get an answer (happy that I did) but I’m afraid of posting in the future. The second time I made a post I made sure to cut down on the amount of code presented and the result I wanted vs the result I was getting and still got downvoted and locked. I have read the rules and the tips/tricks but to no avail. Has anyone else had this experience? I feel like a moron.

StackOverflow is not a help forum. It's a Q&A documentation service. If your problem is not unique, well researched, and minimal, your post will very likely be downvoted and locked.

The trick is to not take this personally. The votes are for whether your question is helpful for *other* people visiting the site in the future.
