Playing in a group is fun, and it increases the hours of playing time and also the speed of improvement. And....it's really fun. Really.
There's also a concept known as "recognizing your limitations" and adjusting accordingly. I will also not perform Karaoke, install my own roof, rebuild a Porsche engine or pour my own driveway. Life is more enjoyable doing the things you have an aptitude for.

You call it quitting. I call it common sense...or maturity.
