Gave up

Sucks but I’ve got to give it up. I’ll regret it for the rest of my life but I failed my first checkride, almost failed the retest. I’m not built for the pressure of checkrides and I have to come to terms with it, I’m just not built for flying and can’t justify sinking any more money into it knowing I’ll never be able to perform on a checkride. Gotta know when to fold sometimes. Anyone else had this feeling in aviation before? I’m not sure how to come to terms with this.
