One thing that can help is cultivating equanimity. See, for example, the blog post "How Cultivating Equanimity Can Change Your Life" (on Psychology Today).

Hey! That's the same thing that happened to me years before, but not in chess.
When I really young, 8 or 9, somehow the programming caught me. I didn't care whether I was good at it or not, I just loved doing, loved learning it. I began with batch, then js, python, C++ and then Java. I was not that good, but loved doing it as hobbiest, brought me fun and also made me experience how genuine interest can push you all the way. Then I began thinking what is considered good and what not, began focusing on results over the process which used to be my fun and this led to procrastination and eventual quit like you did in chess. But still even after all these somehow I end up returning to it, even after months, and even after stopping many times I ended up returning eventually even it takes really a lot of months or even more.
If chess for you is what programming is for me then you quit chess, chess can't quit you, and even though you won't actually return after months(or years) you would at least consider returning.
The chess game is good if you are so good at it. I want to teach chess on YouTube. I am studying 5 languages too ( japanese, English, Arabic, Korean, Chinese).I am also a university student. The more things you know the more you are capable of making money. This is my knowledge of this cruel world. Chess is hard but it can help build a life.
Getting better at things means not to give up.
I can definitely relate. I can’t force myself to play. Therefore it’s hard to improve…
