Am I the only one who struggles with online shopping? Like with measurements for example, I don't know what there talking about or if the clothes will be the right size. How does everyone else get around this?

It's much better in person for me. The sizing charts don't tell you how stuff actually fits. Whenever I use measurements and charts, it's always way tighter than I want. I guess tight clothing is in right now or something. It'll also look a lot different on you than it does on a professional clothes model with a perfect body, perfect hair, and perfect background setting for the attire. That said, Stitch Fix was a pretty good service for a while. Eventually they laid off a bunch of their designers, and the quality of shipments I was getting decreased enough that I just cancelled. They may have improved again since then, or there may be other services out there that are good. Whatever you sign up for, make sure that you can send the whole order back and not be charged if you don't like it. A lot of them charge you anyways and tell you that you have to exchange for other items, and that's BS. They have no motivation to improve your orders when they're guaranteed your money.
