@JerryCan – I, understand. Been there. However, it took me (and, I’m sure others) around a year before being able to play simple (3-6 chord) songs with any confidence. It took me that amount of time and consistent practicing for fingers and brain to start having “Ah Ha” moments. Suggestion, you expressed an interest in being able to play finger picking. Have you tried the TAC skill course Fingerpicking Jumpstart? Regarding campfire songs you might want to try songs like John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads” (G, Em, D, C, F, D7). Check out the beginner’s version at ultimate-guitar.com. Find a song you really like and try to play it once each time you pick up your guitar. Strum it then work on picking it. It must be fun for you, even though, yes, at times frustrating!
It’s a marathon, not a sprint as the adage goes! Hope you hang in there with us, Jerry.
