Anyone ever leave the gym early before you finish your workouts?

Yeah.
I enjoy the gym, I really do.
But sometimes I'm not feeling it.
Do what you want to do.

A bad workout is 10x better than no workout at all. Just hit the main lifts and get the job done.

Good job for going anon, pat yourself on the back.

I've also found that even when I push past my total lack of desire and just do it, I don't feel accomplished at all and am glad to just get the fuck out. Doesn't seem normal, but yeah following your gut is important.

I've skipped some assistance work maybe three or four times in my two years of lifting, and sometimes I go through the motions with them and don't try so hard, but I ALWAYS do my main lifts (squat dead etc) no matter what.

I didn't even do my workout. I was supposed to do squats, bench, and rows (stronglifts) but all the squat racks and benches were being used (despite being there at the slowest time of the day), then ran on the treadmill for 10 minutes and angrily left, feeling like I shouldn't have been there. Some days the gym just doesn't feel right

If I skip my workouts I will just do them the next day since I don't go every day. How often do you go? I can't imagine having the willpower to never skip something big

4 times a week.
I don't think about willpower. Think of it as a binary decision, you either do it to you don't, no room for arguments and making up excuses in your head. I choose to do it.

i used to all the time when I was taking a anti depressant that wasn't working for me. usually because I felt like I should be "doing something else"

i switched meds and now I'm usually happy to finish my workout even if it takes a long time.

Decide whether it benefits you or not

For me, even on my shitty can't be bothered days I remember how I felt before lifting and how agreeing with myself to not go to the gym will simply lead me back there. So I go anyway. All there is to it.
