Honestly anon, for a beginner that looks perfectly serviceable. I think you're being a little hard on yourself. Things are tough at first but as you go they'll get easier and easier.

.>the middle one is my attempt to draw it in perspective. i give myself tons of construction lines, but i'm still not "feeling" it, and it's frustrating as hell
It can take a long time before you start to "feel the form." And that's okay. Just keep practicing, the more you do it the more you'll have a sense of how things work.

>maybe i should start with simpler shapes?
You could try studying Hampton, I found his book to be a lot more intuitive personally.

>anons who can draw, can you describe what's going on in your head as you draw? do you know what the final thing is going to look like before you start? or you sort of "go with it"?
I usually only start with an impression of the feeling I want the picture to convey, but few concrete details. Pic related was the first+second passes I did for a drawing I did recently. I basically just drew an even simpler version of an armature, and then started filling out of of the shapes of the arms/legs. I left all the more detailed construction for a later sketch phase once I had an idea of the pose down, as I just wanted to feel things out a little as I figured out where I was going.

>i saw people who could just start drawing without placing a single construction line, like jumping straight to the details and continuing until it's done, it makes me wanna kill myself 2bh
Those people are immensely talented and have probably spent more time drawing than you have spent time living. The biggest difference between them and you is that they have a lot more practice than you, it's not magic, it's just constant learning and study. Very few artists can draw well without any sort of sketching, you shouldn't compare yourself to them at this point.
