I see a lot of comments say: "it doesn't matter if you lose or win as long as you improve" well those people need to re-read the OP message, he says that because he is losing all the time he doesn't feel any improvement and the game is boring.

To the OP I have to say: 7 lose streak is not bad at all, everyone have lose streaks, my masters friend had about 13 lose streak or something, but right after that he got 14 win streak, if you are at the right level the score will just balance itself, don't worry too much about it.
I don't know if you ever heard TotalBiscuit but one of the point he is really trying to pass is that if a game is boring or not fun - you don't have to play it, Witcher 2 is very boring for me and although i know it is a good game I DON'T PLAY IT.
It's all about patience play it until you either run out of patience or you start to have fun, which ever come first, once you run out of patience you don't have to play it anymore.

IF A GAME IS BORING YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY IT, EVEN IF YOU PAID FOR IT, THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO PUNISH YOURSELF, STOP PLAYING! MAYBE, COME BACK TO IT LATER.

I would also advice not to look too much at SC2 streams, GSL etc. It only causes you to try to do what the pros do, and then be greatly disappointed by your lack of skill. Admit that you suck, and work on one thing at a time, and be proud of that when you see it in a replay, wheter you lose or win.

I think this is the worst advice you can give. Watching the GSL made me so much better even when i didn't play for 6 months. When I came back other than the 20 games or so of terrible mechanics from my extended vacation i was so much better because of the GSL. Maybe you tried to do stuff and didn't understand why, and if that's all you're going to do, then maybe it won't help. But if nothing else it helps you find ways pros are dealing with things that you are having trouble with.

I dont really know what to say. Win or lose I still have fun. Its the thrill of trying to out think your opponent and constantly be a step ahead. The skills you talk about will most definately will not come over night, it takes months or even years of playing to develop that muscle memory which makes the pros play so fast and flawless.

Its just like anything in life, as long as you find something to love about it you will gradually grow into a better person (player).

By not taking the game so serious, rather play relaxed and try not to care if you lose/win.

If you don't take the game serious, you're never gonna get any better.

The process of SC2 is incredibly fun, even if you're losing. Focus on the getting better, and even if you get rolled you can still make it enjoyable.

It doesn't take THAT many wins to bring you down to playing those of equal skill. Just get through maybe 10 more games and by then, you'll probably be pretty close(idk, just guessing... I just can't imagine it taking more than a total of like 30 games). I do hope you realize how often we ALL lose though...

It honestly sounds like SC2 isn't for you. I'm not trying to be a dick at all but part of the thrill, fun and challenge of the game is losing, learning, adjusting, struggling and (sometimes) triumphing. If that seems boring, well, that's unfortunate because that is what SC is. You will get better if you continue playing, studying and reading, this I promise you.

This is what I also wanted to say.
My question is : Why do you play starcraft ?

EDIT :
If the problem is that you are in a league that is way too high for you to practice ; get demoted.
It's quite easy. Just have to lose. You can quit games if you feel like you on't want to waste time.

he probably likes the game but doesn't like constantly losing in a league he feels is too high for him.
