I had to think about how to word this. And there doesn't seem to be any other way to say it nicely, so ...here's your answer, in my opinion. FCs, at the start a lot of the time, are a reflection on their leaders. A bad leader will either lose members, or they will want the leader to step down if they like the FC itself. With that in mind, it takes a certain kind of leader to keep an FC running.

Based on past threads and things you have said before, it seems that the turn-off is...well...you. You seem quite narcissistic and attention-hungry. Take this for example:

That highlighted section - I have met toxic players with more grace and humility than you when you say this. If you want to leave, I'm not here to stop you. My pity well has kind of bottomed out these days. If you want to fix it, then maybe you need to identify your own flaws. Players, even friends, do not owe you any kind of loyalty in-game. You want to be a better leader and keep a good FC? Read the comments above my own. Figure out why they are saying that, and work on improving yourself as a player/person. Otherwise, you might as well be running a dead FC. Just giving you my honest, unfiltered opinion.
