[u]Alter your mindset[/u]. No one actually cares ...except you.

Acquiring competency with guitar is neither a competition nor a 'race' unless you choose to make it one. If you're feeling as you describe, then you can't be finding the pleasure you should in the journey to accomplishment. And considering how much time we are all going to spend there -a lifetime, that's not a wise strategy. Perhaps the more salient question is: Why are you spending time doing something causing you dread instead of bringing pleasure?

Be introspectively honest with your motivation, and change its focus if necessary
