I've told you before you're not bad. But whether you continue art or not is up to you. The only person you should ever compare to is yourself. Are you improving? Do you set goals for yourself?
The thing is, being an artist is a hobby. You don't need to do it to live. If you enjoy doing it, then why does it matter if you're any good? If you want to be better, that's great! Just enjoy the journey. If you don't enjoy it, it doesn't matter if you improve, you'll still be unhappy.
From what I see, you're creative. You have trouble with anatomy, but a lot of people do. Heck, I suck at anatomy. Its where I'm trying to improve the most in. If you really want to learn, grab some books, look at some photos and draw what you see. Or, just draw one piece, just a leg, an arm, a torso. By itself. Draw it 10 times. compare your drawing to the photo and see if you forgot anything. Learn from that mistake and correct it on the next piece. Each time you find something new to improve on, and you'll keep improving.
Are you Michelangelo? No. Art is no walk in the park. You have to put effort into it to improve. That means learning how things are, remembering it, and learning how to put it down. If you don't want to put in that effort, then you may want to look into other hobbies. The thing is, don't define your worth by the quality of your work. The fact that you think you're no good, but continue to try says a lot.
I think you'll be alright regardless of what you choose. But I think you should focus on what you enjoy rather than feel obligated to do anything. This isn't school, this isn't work, this is a cool place to hang out. And you don't need to prove anything to anyone. Regardless of what you choose, have fun!
