Can your fingers be to small to do a f barre chord or should anyone be able to do it eventually?

It just wouldn't make sense usually. Once you can play guitar reasonably well it is easier to use multiple strings so you're not flailing your arm up and down the neck. It would only be easier that way if you were working within a few frets, like a solo with very limited notes. There are some riffs that use the neck like that intentionally for how it sounds though, like Misirlou by Dick Dale.

who cares man. no-wave happened, and ever since then musicians can't look at instruments the same way again.

if the string action on your guitar is too high it also makes fretting the notes a lot harder.
You can correct string action by lowering the bridge (if it's an acoustic you have to sand it down a bit) and by adjusting the truss rod.

send me a picture of the fretboard at the 12th fret (seen from above) so I can see the distance between the strings and the fret. That way I can tell you if your action needs adjusting or not.

It's normal, but it shouldn't last more than a few months until your hand gets strong. A lot of good advice already in this thread but adjust the position and angle of the neck until it is most comfortable. Don't hang your guitar low like a lot of music videos show. Don't play hunched over. Try to use proper technique with your thumb in the middle of the back of the neck and don't press super hard. My fingers are really fatty so it took me a while to get the barre chords down but it was only time and practice. I've got carpal tunnel syndrome from unrelated/work activities, so my wrists hurt and hands go numb after a while playing. It doesn't sound like you've got the same problem.
