Pick up Stewart if you want to know only fundamentals. If you want a better albeit more theoretical understanding, grab Spivak. Or read both. Paul's Online Notes is also a good supplement to both textbooks. Use online videos like Khan academy to help you through, and if you ever have lingering questions go to stack exchange, leddit or even the stupid questions general here.

Good luck. Patience is key

I have not read any books on calculus ever, but I am quite familiar with /sci/ textbook tier lists. Avoid brainlet books like Kline or Simmons and start with Rudin.

What is your opinion on apostol?

Don't hear this guy, Stewart is trash, Apostol is a god.

Start by learning some basic functions, then learn limits. Learn how to differentiate using the definition and then look up all the properties and tricks.

For integrals start up by looking up Riemann sums and then move on to antiderivatives.

Start with intermediate analysis. Springer is a good text.

You start with basic algebra and build up to limits. From there, you can move on to Stewart and learn calculus techniques.

Skipping analysis will cause many misconceptions about calculus, what it means and how it works.

I think Springer is the publisher, do you have a title/author?

Calculus made easy by sylvanus p thompson.

Work through that book then you can try spivak or apostol if you want to learn with proofs
