I just want to give up?

I danced 3-9 years old but I had to quit because never had time to take me but I came back to dance when I was 14 now I'm 16.I thought I was finally catching to my level I have turns in seconds ,3 front attitude turns,2-4 pirouttes,2 is always gaurente ,3. I will do it but it's not gaurenteed,and 4 when I have a good turning day.I have a perfect right split leap and middle leap Iam super close like a couple centimeters to being perfect and my left I'm working on,I got calypsos some fouttes,and 1-1.5 leh spins,and I'm on pointe my ballet technique is quiet my forte.Im a competetive dancer I compete in all genres.I suck at turns there is like some natural turners at my studio I become a lil jealous but no rude way just in my mind.They are the best cause they are amazing turners and danced for like same amount years as me I work really hard on my turns but it gets me no where.To think of the reality I'm not counting my childhood years really cause that wasn't really serious training anyways the reality is I danced for two years and will never meet my level and won't make it in the dance world I'm just terrible at it I just want to give up.I will still dance but j won't take as serious cause I see no future.Should I do this (give up)

Update:

Ince competitively so I dance 20+hrs

    I'm going through like the same exact thing.. I feel your pain. My parents never put me into dance classes till I was 13 years old in 8th grade, from my first dance class I knew dance is what I loved to do. Im almost 15 now and I have left and right splits and super close to my middle. I've only trained in lyrical and jazz but I can do leaps and turns. Turns are not that good, I could only do 3 second turns into 2 pirouettes my parents can't afford my dance class anymore so now I only take tap and ballet which I'm pretty new too. I would love to grow up and be a dancer but I can't see myself doing that either. But you know what if you believe in yourself and really work so hard and do great and accomplish things you can make it into the dance world! From what you said i see that you were born to dance ! Try your best and don't give up!! I'm going to dance conventions and workshops so you should try those. Don't give up cause I'm not giving up. You will make it:) do what you love to do.

    I'm in the same position you are. 6 ish years of training but only 1 year that really counts. Keep in mind that there will always be someone better than you at something. They might be better at turns, but you could be better at a lot of other things you dont know about yet. Never compare yourself to another dancer. we are all unique
