So, I've considered giving up on trying to learn how to

Your basics.
And the themes and style you are drawing.
If you get bored of it you have to re-invent yourself.
Then you will be motivated again. You need to challange yourself.

This is more of a /his/ issue, but I know that feeling. Even if I just stared drawing I have felt that on other activities.
Do what >>2587773 says, but also start drawing for yourself, that kind of useless self-criticism is only useful as an excuse for a Japanese to kill himself. /ic/ is full of dougebags with sad lives with superiority complexes, do not let your ideal internal artist become /ic/ in flesh and blood against you.

Been there, friend. I don't know you but if this is how you truly feel then it indicates you're really an artist at heart, so don't give up. A hack wouldn't get depressed, they'd just move on to some other fad. Transmute your frustration into motivation, brother. It's the inner alchemy of all artists.

Also, don't look at cringe threads or post work your not sure of as its own thread. You will just attract NEETs with a superiority complex, as this good anon has said. Cringe threads are funny, but it often is a bunch of douchebags hating on beginner level artwork. Or they're just trolls who post actually decent stuff and wait to see the reaction. I don't wade much outside beginner and draw threads, or the threads that seem like they have good constructive crit going on. You'll get past this shit, anon.

this.

Most of the threads here are bait, so it's easy to become discouraged especially if you don't think too highly of your work in the first place. most of the NEETs on /ic/ are too salty to improve, so they stay here all day and don't draw anything.

If you want to improve, I recommend only coming here to gather resources. (pdfs, tutorials, reference, etc.)
