I’m newish to chess and haven’t really studied an opening yet I just do the basic e4 and d4 then both knights developed ,I find it boring the way chess.com teaches you them they don’t really show you the openings it’s just puzzles of what positions you can find urself in , how did you study and learn a opening or am I just not getting their teaching method ?

You are better off starting with "opening principles" as they are foundational to all chess openings: https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again
When you do eventually decide to stick with one (ideally mainline) opening, then I recommend getting an opening book on that particular opening or an opening course on that particular opening. You can also search the same on YouTube if you find someone who teaches this opening, but books and courses tend to have the advantage of more repertoire based planning in case the opponent doesn't play exactly as you expect.
