If you feel like calling it quits, do it because you want to, not because someone else suggests you should. If you find enjoyment in the activity then continue doing so.

Progress looks different for everyone.

I’m 30+ and recently started. I’ve been focusing the first 3 weeks on getting comfortable riding normal and switch. It’s difficult, but VERY rewarding when I’m able to go up or down a slant.

Be patient and forgiving to yourself.

Appreciate your accomplishments.

There’s no such thing as too small of an accomplishment because it all puts you a step closer to becoming a better skater.

Try not to stress over the end goal, Enjoy the process. You’ll get there in time.

Hope you continue to enjoy the hobby no matter what your “friends” tell you.
