We start from the surface. If you want to make something significant, focusing on constantly learning new shiny techs is not the best strategy. You need to find a niche, a personal direction, something that you feel a sustainable passion about - and dive into it, study, find connections, build. Life is luck, but at least you are prepared for your chance. But if we go deeper inside the cause of your anxiety - and you need to go that way - I guess your problem is in self-acceptance. Do you have a courage to be normal, can you accept and love yourself if you are mediocre, a regular person who will not known for anything significant? Who said that you should, must be a top performer? Can you imagine the exact achievement you need to get in order to stop worrying and say that you fulfilled your goal? I understand your anxiety, and suggest to: 1. read about self-acceptance and ideally go through CBT with a good psychotherapist, 2. spend half an hour per day sitting and reflecting, meditating, slowing down yourself, 3. I do not want to recommend any book as they have different effect on different people, but maybe look at “The Courage to Be Disliked”, 4. different experiences and bigger picture: try hobbies, gym, again meditation, maybe some other ways to introspect and expand your conscious. Good luck!
