It wasn't what made me quit, I'm just glad that I don't have to deal with that shit because I'm not still playing.

I've tried a lot of musical instruments in my life and while I enjoyed the guitar for a couple of years, I just didn't feel like I was ever going to be skilled enough on it to really enjoy it, so I moved on. And I didn't like the calluses at all.

That's too bad, but if you didn't enjoy it then there's not much point in continuing.

I guess my point was you don't really have to deal with UG or be very skilled to enjoy playing, but if you didn't like it (calluses are kind-of a must, tbh) then it's not worth sinking time into, imo
