I'm sure there's plenty of people out there willing to help you tackle most of the content that you're struggling with. One good thing about FFXIV's community is that it's a lot friendlier than the communities in certain other MMO's.
Difficulty itself is also very subjective but not necessarily a bad thing. The very tough stuff is completely optional and the 'hard' stuff during the main scenario quests generally forces people to pull their weight, learn from their mistakes and adapt.
Even then a lot of content is very forgiving of mistakes - and aside from a few bad apples here and there you can generally count on many groups being happy to aid new/inexperienced players.
