Am I just retarded? Will I ever be a real photographer?

It's because you don't know how to use the light meter

Well, you should have learned by now. But regardless, what purpose do you take photos for? Your own enjoyment? Or for money?

Why do you care? Many of elitist <i shoot manual> fags simply rotate a dial until light meter is centered, essentially doing same shit camera do in aperture priority. And if you compare yourself with Jared - try to remember that guy shooting for decades now. He also make money for living this way. Sure thing he's good.

Then it does not matter what you use to look through when you take a picture. Hell, I would say that even if you did do it professionally it wouldn't matter unless you were in specific disciplines like photojournalism.

Enjoy shooting through Live view, literally nothing wrong with that. I would suggest slowly trying to do more optical viewfinder shooting over time, however.

But at the end of the day, do what will get you the shot and will give you the most enjoyment.

It does say the same info yes, but it doesn't show me exactly what the picture is going to look like opposed to the screen, because I have an optical viewfinder and not a digital viewfinder.
