Is there only one type of stickiness

Hello everyone, I'm entirely new to this bread thing and i have a question about kneading the dough. Stickiness and lack of elasticity seem to be big problems I am facing. Can stickiness mean the dough is too dry? or does it only mean too wet? I have tried adding flour but it seems i eventually have added another whole cup and then my dough is extremely stiff and dense. I've tried oil and that seemed to work a little better, but in the end the stickiness came back. Please give me your ideas. Thanks.
