Let's see if this helps.

Do this simple diad version of the F chord for now. Put the tips of your ring and middle fingers on these notes. Reach your fingers around until you can comfortably grab those notes (fingertips straight down into the strings) and your thumb on the back of the neck. Do not hold any part of the neck with the palm of your hand.

F chord:

E |----------|[br]B |----------|[br]G |-2--------|[br]D |-3--------|[br]A |----------|[br]E |----------|

Any time you need an F major chord just play that. Later, work on adding the next string!

E |----------|[br]B |-1--------|[br]G |-2--------|[br]D |-3--------|[br]A |----------|[br]E |----------|

Try that and let me know how it goes. You can gradually add the E string barre later after you can do those first 2 options.

[p]No, F minor chord is not a good substitute for F major chord. But this part of your post makes it sound like the F minor chord is what you are struggling with.

Give some advice and please dont just tell me its about practice cuz I am now practicing hard, but I need some advice, tactics, workaround or something

Okay, but no matter what the solution or workaround is . . . it's going to involve practice. :)
