I’m really having trouble with socks too. Are there any tutorials someone can point me too? I’ve been knitting for about a year, just blankets so the heel is what is putting me off.
Welcome to KH!
There are lots of variations on making socks and I’m sure you’ll find your own favorite. I like this series of tutorials because it’s clear and step by step.

I learned a lot from Silver…the link salmonmac posted. There are indeed many ways of doing socks and their heels. Are you using a pattern that you can link to? That would be helpful. Are you doing cuff-down or toe-up? A heel flap or basic short row heel? Knowing more particulars would be helpful in finding what you need/want. Knowing what your pattern is would help answer the questions that you might not really know the answers to yet. You can successfully knit socks, I’m sure of it.
