I don't really have any advice for anything else you said, except this bit. You don't have the skills now, but you can develop them. Everybody was a beginner that tried and tried again.
Nah, some people just don't have it. And it's not their fault, I'm one of them. We are just too stupid to learn some stuff and can't handle failure, for some it becomes downright dangerous to keep failing.
I think that's a mindset issue. If you come at it with "I won't be able to learn this, I'm too stupid", you won't give it your all and you will self sabotage. Besides, nobody is just stupid. You aren't stupud either! Read up on intelligence types and you will certainly feel like one of those is yours, even if it's not academic intelligence. Don't give up!
You don't know me. I am. Also you skipped the part when I mentioned that failure is too much for some.
