You sound pretty young. A lot of really cool things most people do happens later in life. The "teenager did blah blah" is causing you problems like watching other people's Instagram feeds for their vacations.. All you see is amazing stuff and miss all the crap people don't post. Seriously, you sound like my kids (Gen z) worry about everyone's else life.. It consumes them all. The answer in the end is get over yourself, shut off the videos, find something you want to do and keep doing it even if someone is doing it better. There's always someone doing it better. Just flip the asshole on the screen, say "fuck you!" out loud, and move on. Not kidding. Try flipping off the wunderkinds on your screen a few times, you'll feel better.

Oh, and you've just not found your niche yet, a lot of that comes with time. You keep giving up and being frustrated, so you just haven't found it yet.
Thanks for the reply, I do think you're right. I'm also GenZ, and thinking about others does consume my mental state more than I'd like. Maybe just shutting off the content consumption for a while is a good idea.

Yea I do think I haven't found my niche yet, I tend to read about a lot of different things, and hard to focus on one thing specifically. Thanks for the advice.
