>Keep being critical of your art though. If it's trash, you should treat it like trash.

I completely understand the logic behind this. I really do. I just feel like everytime I want a break from grinding I just want to be able to enjoy the work I make.
I feel like I have to come up with something original anytime I open up a canvas and that it has to look impressive somehow.
Worse yet, its exhausting analysing every piece of art I make or look at in an effort to improve. Im burned out on the idea of improving that I dont even know how to apply myself. Shit sucks.

Has anyone without a natural enjoyment of drawing ever managed to get good? When I read about skilled people they started early and always enjoyed drawing. I don't though but I still want to be able to draw. Can I even force myself to learn if I will be frustrated all the time?

This too. For now my goal is to start and get good enough to be able to find what to work on. But I am a complete beginner. I feel so lost. I have no idea where to start. If I tried to learn programming I would start with a tutorial that would teach me the syntax step by step. With drawing I can't find a step by step tutorial. I tried doing the exercises out of a book where I had to do drawings from life. The proportions ended up wrong and I had no idea how to add detail to the drawing. I could only draw the rough outlines. I have no idea how to learn how to move my hand to accurately copy what I see. People that can draw are like supermen to me. I am so afraid that I will never manage to get decent at drawing that I am too afraid to start.
