Counterpoint: you can improve whenever you put the effort in to improve.
if u start late, you can't improve

Am I?
I could never be that bad at chess to close my account and give up and create a new alt account the next day.

I notice you're been in the 1800s for quite a while. I don't see a lot of improvement going on in your games. Maybe you're the one that's not "cut out for chess". I don't see a title attached to your screen name. Based on your non-improvement, maybe you should quit. It seems you just suck at a slightly higher level. I saw a 2800 player on Chessbrahs wipe the floor with an 1800 recently, 10-0. So don't get so worked up about yourself.
idk whether I’m improving :/

Only agree with the first part (if you don't want to study it right now, you can take your time, leave and come back, whatever).
But there's this thing on the chess forums where people equate intelligence/capability with ELO, or make an argument from ELO, and it's really grating.
Progress may be slower if you start later, but it’s absolutely possible to get better with consistent effort and the right mindset.
Just give UP
