IMO life's too short to worry about whether you should like a game or not, how others perceive your enjoyment/tastes and so on and so forth.
Is it fun? Then play it.
Is it not fun? Then play/do something else.
that's the thing. not everyone enjoys competitive games in a first place. and there is NOTHING wrong with that. there is a huge difference between not giving up on a challenge you might have trouble with in real life that is genuinely important, and beating your head against a challenge in your hobby that you took up because you wanted to relax from real life challenges in a first place.
Nintendo stuff would probably suit you. Usually has a fairly good difficulty cure, and the newest stuff often has an easy mode (Mario Kart just put in a steering correction, fail a Mario level enough times you can skip it, etc.))
Thank you all for your advice, whether that be to try other things or whether to 'git gud' - all are valid points. I've decided to pursue some further education over my break from University and advance my programming by taking on more advanced c++. Hopefully I will return to gaming but for now I will take a break. Thanks for all your help guys
