Most people who give up on Forex trading have false expectations for quick and easy money. They are often mislead by some over-promising advertisement or from a YouTube clip saying that making millions in Forex is easy. Watching such fake information is detrimental, especially for newbie traders who don't know what to expect. I've been in this business for 10 years and I never quit, exactly because I set my expectations early on and I never felt guilty or desperate if things doesn't work as planned. I love the trading game and I am trading in first place because of that passion to macroeconomics and behavioral finance and only on second place for the monetary income. If it was the other way around I should have give up many years ago.
