Does this mean I'm a good DM because my players keep coming back?

It means you're good enough.
You need to coach your players to DM though.
This may necessitate just choosing whichever one is most capable of it, and kidnapping them until stockholm syndrome sets in.

Probably, yeah. Although it may also mean DMs are in such short supply in your area that your players have no other choice. Nevertheless, enjoy!

>Does this mean I'm a good DM because my players keep coming back?
Generally, yeah. Some players will tolerate some pretty abysmal conditions just to keep playing, but that usually lasts until the game is over. They won't come back if they had a truly bad time. Or they'd start making excuses for why they can't show up for several weeks in a row, even though they know that is going to torpedo the game for everyone else. If you've got people regularly show up for 12 fucking years, you're doing something right.

It means you're desperate to play games that you're willing to be an eternal DM, since no one you know wants to run one and social anxiety rules out joining a group you don't know.
