I’m feeling defeated. Should I keep writing?

I feel defeated with my writing journey.<br><br>I published my first novel a couple years ago. I wrote a sequel. My writing group read both books and I had a critique with two of them. I was expecting some positive feedback but instead they had a lot of negative things to say. Like, I can’t believe this was published negative. They said I needed to completely rewrite both books and that I needed to work on my writing skills. I took it hard. I can’t help but wonder if my writing is really that bad. Even if my books are the same as thousands of others, doesn’t mean they are good enough. <br><br>I keep getting “your writing style is unique” from everyone I encounter. <br><br>I’ve been working on new styles and I have some beta readers coming. I’m feeling a little better. <br><br>I know I’m not a bad writer but I’ve been feeling some self doubt. <br><br>I don’t feel like writing. Should I just be done. Should I give up? I’m feeling some self doubt and just wondering if I should keep writing. <br><br>I know this is a new account but I’ve been lurking for a long time.
