@crabbyblue11, when I first started, I struggled with the pick, and actually quit using one due to strumming issues. Single note picking wasn’t really an issue for me, just getting nice clean strums. I started using one again almost a year ago. I’m still not where I want to be, but still persist. Finding the right pick is key in my opinion. @Loraine gave some great advice. Pick up a variety pack and try different materials and different thicknesses. What has really helped me the most, is having very little of the pick end exposed. 1/8th to 1/4 inch of exposed tip is where I try to be. Too much of the pick exposed may lead to a “floppy” sound, and hitting single notes will also be more difficult. I’m currently using a Blue Chip TD35. I have a hard time using other picks now as they just don’t perform as well.
