Don't worry about Combat Power (CP). Don't worry about only catching what you consider uninteresting Pokémon. Don't worry those players who live near Poké Stops and always have more resources than you. Take your time playing and read up on game strategies. It takes skill and lots of preparation to compete. Become familiar with the different types of Pokémon and learn what their strengths and weaknesses are. Assimilate move sets combinations and discover how they make your Pokémon special. Combine your knowledge with a Pokémon that has fair CP and good Individual Values (IVs) to win in gyms. Don't worry so much about losing because you need team effort to hold these gyms.
Think about the things you gain from the game itself. Find your joy in playing! You're out more, exercising, exploring new places, and meeting new people! Pokémon GO (PoGO) is like Life...and your perspective on how to approach it affect outcomes. Robert H. Schuler noted, "Problems are not stop signs, they're guidelines."
In the real Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum and all the other Pokémon Trainers, never caught them all. In all honesty, the creators of the game did not intend for us to do so either, especially not within the first year. It is like anything and everything else, we don't have to keep winning. Keep the fun in the game and don't stop learning.
It really is fun. I'll never catch em all.
