The most important difference between JOSM and other editors is that JOSM works with modes (by default).
So if you’re in “add” mode (by pressing the ‘a’ hotkey), every click will add a point to a line (double-click to stop the line). If you are in selection mode (with the ‘s’ hotkey), clicks will only select features (and allow you to tag them).
Then you have a lot of specialised modes (some need a plugin to use them), like building mode to draw rectangular buildings, or way-alignment mode where a click will move the points of a way.
Some basic guidance can be found in the wiki: osm.wiki/JOSM/Guide
(be aware that some things might be outdated)
JOSM is quite hard to learn at the beginning, but if you got the basics it’s a really great editor. You can do so much things with it and I’m still learning new things after more than 4 years working with it.
Once you know how to use it it’s a pain to use ID x

Welcome to OSM.
My main failing when starting out was deleting stuff… I’d encourage you not to delete stuff.
Add the stuff you like, shops, restaurants, libraries … those things need a local.
Have fun!!

You can do lots.
Reach out to fellow mappers around your area, you’re likely to get a lot of tips from them.

Once you know that, learning JOSM gets easier.

Thanks for your kind words friends. It was encouraging!
I tried and added a couple of PoI today; will try to learn more.
