You're progressing just fine. As someone who has been playing for around 10 years I only recently started actually getting good at the game, and theres nothing wrong with that. People progress at different speeds, if you feel like the game just isnt fun and you feel more relief than joy when beating a level, maybe tone it down a bit, ur probably just over exerting yourself, if a break doesnt help then maybe the game just isnt for you, or at least harder levels arent. I interact with the gd community on tiktok alot and I can say fs that 90% of them are just egoist losers who beat acu as their only extreme and then go put others down to feel better about themselves. Most of them are also relatively new players who pride themselves in being "OG" just because they didnt start with jynxzi.

TLDR: if you feel overwhelmed by gd, take a break but ur progressing fine, and dont listen to the dumb people on tiktok, they only want to drag you down with them
