Find one thing, one small dimension, that really interests you and do a deep dive. Let your interest become a thirst, completely master that.

From there everything else will naturally happen. The problem most people have in situations like this is too much shallow knowledge, which doesn’t lead to real stimulation of curiosity and creativity. Find something that fascinates you and go for that.

Alternately audit the MIT CS106b course for free online and see if the intro to CS stimulates you intellectually.

Second alternately change careers to something where you deal primarily with people (like sales or product) or where you spend time outside.
