Why do I constantly change my trading strategy?

Why do I constantly change my trading strategy even though I know that switching strategies too often is one of the biggest reasons beginners fail.

Every time I try to commit to a method—whether it's price action, trend trading, support and resistance, indicators, or some combination—the moment I experience a few losses or the market becomes choppy I panic, assume the strategy is broken, start searching YouTube for a "better" system, experiment with new indicators, adjust settings, rewrite my rules, and tell myself that this new version will finally be the one that works, yet the cycle repeats endlessly, leaving me exhausted, confused, and feeling like I know a little bit about everything but am skilled at nothing, and I'm starting to realize that my constant strategy-hopping might be my way of avoiding the emotional discomfort of sticking with something long enough to master it.

Every time I face a drawdown or a losing streak it triggers fear and self-doubt that pushes me toward the illusion that another strategy would perform better, even though logically I know all systems go through losing periods, but emotionally I can't accept losses without wanting to change something, and I want to understand how experienced traders resist the temptation to switch methods impulsively, how they build confidence in their approach, how they differentiate between normal drawdowns and truly broken systems, and how they stay committed long enough to gather real statistical data, because right now I feel trapped in a never-ending loop of trying one strategy after another without ever giving myself the chance to develop consistency or mastery.

I'm desperate to understand how to break this cycle so I can finally make progress instead of constantly starting over.
