Does anyone else kinda not like their puppy?

From day 1, he’s been overall unpleasant. He’s 8.5 months now and it’s about 80/20 hating him/liking him. I’m doing all the things (crate, exercise, training, naps, blah blah blah) but I’m getting real tired of the bullshit. I used to love being home but now I feel trapped and I can’t ever relax. He’s been demand barking now. That’s his new thing. I wish I had a friend who could take him for the day but honestly I’d feel bad bc he’s such a pain in the ass. I really made a huge mistake getting this dog 😭 I was telling myself ‘he’ll be a great dog someday’ but now I’m not sure. He might just be an asshole.

Edit: I don’t really want suggestions or advice. More looking for support and solidarity.
