I was not practicing a lot (which is my fault) and I got overwhelmed because the younger and older people in my adult class were more knowledgeable.( i know comparing was not the smartest thing to do)

I just got too anxious, annoyed, and gave up. I do enjoy it, and would like to return but how do I get the "I'm terrible, I'll never get this" out of my mind.

There's only one way to "get this:" by showing up to train!  You have no competition in your dojo; everyone there supports each other on their journey.  Always ask questions on things that you don't understand, and if there are any movements in particular that you're having trouble with (for example, using your hips, relaxing your shoulders, half body/full body, etc), ask your instructor for specific drills you can use to improve them (and your instructor will have plenty).
