As A Support Main, I Find Myself Not Improving

I've been playing since season 6, and the whole time I was playing support (sometimes mid if I get picked and I do well in Mid as Ahri). But today, as I was playing with some friends, I find myself not being a great player. I am a great support and I enjoyed playing support, but when my friends told me to play ADC, that's when I find myself a useless player who cannot carry. I felt... Discouraged? When I was playing ADC, I didn't think I did anything, and when I 1v1ed one of my friend, I kept losing to him (he was gold while I am Bronze), and I felt that I lost those 1v1s even with my best champs because I've been playing support. I feel useless, like I want to do something, but I find myself being carried by others, but I don't carry my team. I mean, I played well as a support, but I am not carrying my team, I make my team carry, and I find myself not a great player because I only play support.

I don't know how to word this, but let's just say I'm being discouraged now and find myself a player who cannot carry others and always wants someone else to carry me while I make them carry. I feel like playing support helps my team to win, but not making myself being a carry. I feel I'm too passive, I feel anxious when fighting against others and I fear if I do something wrong, my teams is going to blame me.

Let's just say I am a weak player who doesn't carry people and mostly make them carry for me. I now want to get that mentality of carrying and being more aggressively, but how? And what lane (probably mid) and what champions?

I wouldn't recommend going ADC if you main support. Sure, you're in the same lane, but ADCs rely on right clicking rather than using abilities, which sounds easy enough to learn but in actuality is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Try playing things like Lux or Morgana mid lane if you want to branch out. Zilean can work too but I find that not many people play him these days.

Just to be clear, I am not that support who sits around healing/shielding adc. I play a lot of Thresh so I am pretty good with skillshots and flash hooks. I tend to roam a lot as a support, being proactive, taking objectives, and helping my team as I go.

You could try picking up some champs that are almost Supps, and taking them to other lanes. (Annie Caitlyn Jhin Lux Morgana Volibear Veigar maybe)

A lot of control mages work too. Basically, play support in other lanes, and eventually you'll find yourself not playing support anymore.
