Yeah, I won't sugarcoat. Everyone has talents and anti-talents when it comes to skills. It's not any different with skills that contribute to hobbies. We're bound to be shitty at some. Others will learn to improve, while we will have to learn to counterbalance our shitty innate abilities.

Now, it could be that their standard for "good" is different than yours, so their estimation can be dismissed. That would be nice, of course. Frankly even if they're being honest they might not be an expert, or know your dedication. Plus, I'm often proud of what I make regardless of the quality. I like what I create, especially if I have no ambition or pressure to excel at it. Maybe you can feel the same, even if their estimation hurts now.

If you find yourself agreeing completely, then it's probably best to move your goal if it's affecting you. Either find another hobby, or better, find help that will teach you tricks and tools that need no great skill. Tell yourself that the end goal isn't getting "good" at this.
Obviously you want to have fun, but honing a skill is also character-building.
Patience, dedication, concentration, an eye for detail or rhythm, fresh air, knowledge, company etc etc whatever your hobby is, you'll always get results that are not just the product that make it worth it.
