An X aong the top means don’t play this string for this chord. A circle means play this string without any fingers on the frets. And obviously a numbered circle on a fret means put that finger in this spot.
It’s fairly simple to do those chords (and I suck at guitar, seriously), and they sound nice.
Hope that helps and you don’t chuck your guitar :-)
EDIT - just realised that that’s not even how I play G or A - same fret holds but I use different fingers for them.
Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

I can only hold the first 3 strings, the thick ones correctly, the lower ones are impossible to use for me
