Yeah I agree with bruhsev and Joseph calling you out on your apparent lack of enjoyment or enthusiasm for doing what you label "study". If you don't even enjoy what is essentially an integral and large part of the specific thing you are trying to achieve, why do it? Learn how to make coffee for a living. It doesnt take long to learn and more people probably will enjoy the results of the fruits of your labour.
I am essentially a hobbyist now and I haven't missed a weekly life drawing session (covid aside) in almost two years. I still take many classes and love drawing/painting and learning that much. Racing towards a fantasised end and hating the journey is a waste of your time.
As for not trusting feedback. The reason to ask for feedback is to want it, whatever it is or whomever may provide it. For someone who has been on this forum for 7 years, this (forgive my bluntness) complete noob attitude to learning and critique is extremely perplexing. Be grateful you get any all. Imo you need to ust get over whatever hangup and mistrust you have. It's highly irrational
