Probably going to give up on the bass. I cant even do the most basic of things because I am a fucking retard.

Oof that escalated quickly, though I have to admit, that I'm not surprised that you've got to this point.
I mean, things there appear easier than they really are. I also discovered, that I suk more than I imagined I would, so I totally get what you mean.
I thought, that I'll grab a guitar and be able to learn something cool in a week or something, but nope, not even close! I was so naive.
It hasn't even been a week, so come on, you're definitely too harsh on yourself. Getting the hang of the most basic things is a not so easy achievement. That alone requires time, practice and mostly patience (to tank all these fails). Beginnings are always the worst, because when you're just starting, all you do is to fail, which is insanely demotivating, because it easily makes you think, that you'll never learn anything. There isn't any ground to stand on, to start from, everything you do is a disaster, so it's hard to practice without repeating seemingly noob/useless instructions for hours and hours.
Easier said than done, huh? Yeah, I myself kind of struggle with finding the time and motivation to calmly practice properly, but I know it just requires time, so there's no need to panic.

Don't be so harsh on yourself, it hasn't even been a week, so it is expected to still have troubles with basics tbh. I know it sux, because I'm literally in the same position, or maybe I'm just an R person too.

When I'm trying to play something and when I hear the earrape I generate, I'm sitting there being like:

It would be easier to do all of those things if I wasn't such a failure in literally every other aspect of life. Like, all I've ever done is fail and my life essentially amounts to zero value so when I try to do something new and I can't even get the basics down, it simply destroys any and all hope I had in it. I don't expect it to be easy, but I at least expect myself to do something right for once. Yet, I can never even do that.

If you're getting to such conclusions in less than a week, then no wonder why it all looks so dark for you. I know failing is terrible, I myself fail quite often, it sucks yeah, but I absolutely disagree that you fail at everything you do like you're claiming. You're just too harsh on yourself, because I don't know, at this point I could say I suck at everything I do as well, because I can't really think of any achievements I got.

Have a bit more patience for yourself.
Things aren't hard because you're terrible at everything, things are hard because they indeed are just hard.
