Calling All Amateur Astronomers! How far away are stars? How do we determine this distance? What makes it reliable?

What I want to know is how do we know both the shape of our galaxy as well as our location within the galaxy? Like how do we make a 3D picture out of a 2D view from only 1 view point. Did they measure the position of 1000's of stars around us to make points?
Cause from our view point its just a smashed line of stars.
