Learn a hobby. Maybe try to be more self sufficient. The more self sufficient you are, the less approval you'll need from others. I dream of a small farm someday. I learn things now that will be useful in the future - like gardening, butchering, taxidermy, culturing mushrooms, caning, etc.

Hobbies keep me distracted, but my motivation doesn't last very long

Yeah, that's why I'm saying hobbies with a higher goal can help - like being self sufficient. What if your contribution to society was in some other industry, like growing food?
