Can you not troll someone who is clearly being very frustrated.

On topic:
Judging from your profile, you are likely playing maps that are too difficult. This seems to be such a common mistake, so many threads and always the same answer. Osu is heavily based on being able to read the map, and playing maps that are too hard builds bad habits and messes up your reading, starting to play lower AR and easier maps can help you fix that, relearning how to properly read maps. Don't worry about shitmissing on low star maps, I shitmiss there, too, doesn't bother me tho. What I focus on is how the "feeling" of playing changes. You'll notice that you feel more comfortable doing certain movements or pressing certain patterns etc, you'll feel your improvement, even if results aren't showing it, yet. That's what I'd suggest focusing on, not the results, but the feeling.

Also, don't play short farm maps (if it's only for PP). PP comes naturally as you get better. If you feel like you significantly improved, feel free to go nuts on a few maps and set some scores, but don't try to force it too heavily, it just frustrates you imo.
Juuuuuuuuul
Some things may help you to have fun playing this game :

New maps,
check the qualified section every day, play and share feedback.

Old maps.
Download and play old maps, see mapping evolution, some very old stuff are interresting and fun.

Mapping,
i see that you have a map in graveyard, maybe try a bit more.

Skinning,
not only making them, looking for new skins and testing them may be fun as well.

Multiplayer,
make friends, share maps, and discuss about the game while playing. (my personal fav, half my playtime is done here)

Goals,
that are not pp, some achievements/medals are fun to do.


- Have fun.

You can always try playing EZ, HT, or EZHT for fun, it's what I do whenever I get frustrated.

try messing around in lobbies, perhaps? * v* received a crash course/introduction to tech maps that way~

learn more skills than just the aim pp skill

easier maps are too slow for me tho i allways overaim or go to fast and its not fun and even if i do fc i dont get any pp for it im mostly trying to do 4 star maps and have been for a long time now 3 star maps feels too slow anything below ar9 i cant read because its slow like i play 3 star maps with dt and thats playable but then i get shit combos still or shitmiss

That's exactly the point and why you should play them. They're NOT easy for you, they're hard for you, because you can't read them and have zero control. Play them so you learn control and reading them. You can't read below AR9, because you don't know how to read, yet, it's not because it's too slow, your brain just can't comprehend what's going on because so much is happening. Work on it if you want to improve.

Also, stop caring about PP and think about how you can get better, PP reflects your skill, so if you want to get PP, think about how to get better. I'm pretty sure you can get better.

Edit: Most of the improvement happens overnight, during your sleep. Make sure to sleep well. On the day itself, just keep practicing and stop worrying, even if you don't feel improvement on that day, after sleeping, you will notice differences.
