When you talk about simply giving up, you refer to an emotional state of exhaustion. You feel beaten or worn out and you just feel like giving up. So the action refers to yourself.
To give up on something implies another subject.
For example: "I gave up on trying to save our relationship"
The subject here would be the relationship and the action would be you giving up *on* it.
