Did you ever give up on learning a language because of the people?

I gave up on two languages, one because they are absolutely unresponsive.

I would send 50 messages and maybe only 1 or two would answer and the conversations never got far. "No i dont want to do a call, no i dont want to send audio messages, i can't now, maybe tomorrow." It felt like trying to squeeze water out of a rock.

I also gave up on learning a language variant because they also never answer, and in the small chance that they do answer, they just keep switching to English.

When I gave up on them and instead focused on other languages or regional variants, the experience was much different.

I was able to find tons of people willing to talk about whatever in their native language. And that really helped me.
