Should I quit competitive programming? I am not good at it, but I like it very much?

Think about the reasons you are doing it and make a decision correspondingly.You are doing it because of some benefits you are going to get once you’ll reach decent level? Think if it is worth it - maybe you don’t have other way, or maybe you can get these benefits by doing something else and investing smaller amount of time. Or maybe you simply don’t need them. Look how much you improved over time and scale it to get some approximation on time it will take you to reach the level you want/need.

You are going to improve over time. Maybe you aren’t going to improve fast. Even if you can improve quickly - it will require investing great amount of time and effort. What do you need from competitive programming? Why are you doing it? You like it very much, right? This reason sounds good enough - but you have to consider everything carefully and weight it. Just imagine that you are doing some other fun (but possibly useless) activity instead; imagine saying “Should I quit playing computer games? I like it very much”. Take it this way and make a corresponding decision.

It is OK to spend your spare time in any way you want, but never forget about other alternatives - maybe competitive programming is not most useful/joyful/fun/interesting thing and you can do something else instead.
