You will live a life of misery if you constantly compare your life to others' lives. Take it a step at a time and try to be better than you were the day before. Carmack lives in a different time, under a different environment with a different set of genes. He is an outlier through and through. Inferiority complex can push you to go past your own limits, but beating yourself up for "being interior" doesn't help.

Don't fret about factors that are not under your control. Social media and some video games are viruses pushed down by greedy unethical corporations that infect your mind to ignore your responsibilities by hijacking your attention. Sure, they can be good in some ways but those few positive side effects are not why they were created. Don't beat yourself for falling into the trap, but at the same time don't expect anything else to pull you out. You have to push yourself out.

Good thing is you have the ability and ambition to realize the farce and want to live a more rewarding life. Many don't realize and many more dont care to leave the passive plane of existence even once they do find out.

All the best.
