Anon, I'm going to be honest with you. You have all the underlying foundations to be a great artist but you need to be more confident. Look up line weight first and foremost. If you read manga/comics, which I'm pretty sure you do, examine and study your favorite artist(s) and what makes the pieces pop the most. Go out your way to see if you can find what kind of sketches they do online. Try to replicate their line weight while putting your own spin on it, omitting and adding things you personally dislike/like. But also make sure to diversify what you read/look at so you can understand what works for other artist so you don't just become a carbon copy of [insert popular mangaka]. Doing this will help you build line confidence and make everything you do look much more dynamic. You already have a good handle of making figures look natural in a neutral positions.

Also STUDY FUCKING HANDS AND FEET. You can get away with hiding your weaknesses for only so long, so study the mechanics of hands, you kinda of have the basics down but its obvious you don't really know how to draw hands. Just have a folder of hands and feet in interesting and mundane positions when you have trouble. But much more importantly practice drawing the human body as a whole on a consistent basis.

The most important thing you can do is just draw. Always aim for drawing finished pieces and sketching some stuff every other day. I don't know your living situation, but take the time to sit down and doodle something for atleast and hour and then when your up for it, spending atleast 3 hours on (to be finished) pieces. I have your same problem where I get incredibly unhappy with things I'm aiming to finish and want to quit. But you have to power through and atleast get 70% done. That way you can examine what you need to improve on for the next time. Its the only way for you to grow as an artist.

I appreciate you actually nutting up and posting your work. I hope this helps anon.
